I wish you great luck, it took me a long time to find my 2C. You'll eventually find one. | ||

I have one. They sold Scott and Fetzer Sanitation Systems for a long time - 7 years. During that time, the Sani-Emptor was introduced. The "System" had the ability to remove the front wheels when using it over your shoulder with the shoulder strap. It also featured TWO different nozzles. The straight suction nozzle, and a wheel-driven revolving brush nozzle. Ironic that Kirby was so "Late To The Game" with the motor driven brush. Hoover's patent on the motor driven brush was expired the year BEFORE the "System" was launched. We would have to wait until 1935 for a motor driven brush Kirby. The "System" is a very nice, very powerful machine - similar to a Royal Super in suction power. The Scott and Fetzer Sanitation System was private labeled in 1928 and 1929 as "The Health-Mor" for the company that was to become Filter Queen in 1939.

Sorry... to hear that Rick. I hope you get it running again. Hope this helps. Here's a picture of my early S&F with it attachments and box etc so you can confirm your attachments and box are for your system.

HisMastersVoice I can truly identify with your suffering, that being said, let me now tell you with a whole hearted assurance...you can never surrender nor give up in your hope. It took me the better part of three years to attain an (early model C), and I must confess, it was well worth the agony of waiting...the best things usually are....that can only make them so much the sweeter! One thing is for sure, the longer you wait, the more you appreciate it. And another truism you can take heart: It's always darkest before a new and glorious KIRBY dawn!" Until your dawn comes, have a listen....may you be encouraged in some small way by this link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO cb123's LINK

YES, that is for certain! KIRBY is one primo snort, not like that back alley vacuum smack. I'm just glad Kirby isn't an injectable, because there'd be a whole lot of ODs out there! But even still, many have succumbed to its allure, the prestige of The KIRBY, and just for this simple reason: It's the purest, most uncut stuff out there! Now, my greatest hope is, that the POWERS which be, will never regulate nor deem KIRBY to be a controlled substance...May Heaven help us if they ever do!

Just had a lady call the Vacuum Cleaner Museum yesterday, wanting to know how much her Scott and Fetzer Sanitation System was 'worth'. She thought thousands. I told her to come back to earth. She had an offer of $500 from a vacuum collector, but she thought she could get more. I told her eBay it so everyone can bid on it, and Mike Pupek can win it.

~ I wonder if that's the same lady who sent me these photos on behalf of a friend, the intimation seeming that her friend considered it priceless. I replied with a reality check: Wow. There's "rough" and then there's "ROUGH." Its collectible value really is negligible. All I heard back was, "I'll forward your info to my friend." I have a feeling I'm not going to hear back from her....... | ||

Yep, it is in horrendous condition if it is the same vac as in the attached photos... Not sure who would pay her $1000 for a parts vacuum and there are no replacement parts you can buy for it either! So you would need a donor machine or need to make parts.

ca 1931 SF sanitation system
this is a later version i fully restored, is 100% original and runs. i've been offered $1000 for this machine more than once in this condition. short of an SF looking like this, esp w/o attachments is worth virtually nothing but like the others said, parts. HUGE key items that affect this machines value, original bag , original bag lettering condition, original cloth cord, WOOD handle. if these items are missing (the cord on that one posted above is vinyl AND cut) its value is virtually zero.

~ That's a ~~~STUNNING~~~ S&FSS above. And HOW RARE is that bag that trumpets the new Sani-Emptor!! btw someone has asked me how many diferent S&FSSs and Vacuette models there were. I've seen four or five different S&FSSs in my time, including one with a switch in the handle like the later R-series Kirbys, and two or three different Vacuettes - not including the non-electric models. Does anyone know? (For sure -- not wild guesses.......) | ||
