Trying Again - Kirby Manual Help with the 1C, 3C and R models

Hi, My last post got hijacked with 2C and 4C and R model discussions, none of which had anything to do with my post.

Can anyone help me get complete scans of the 1C, 3C, R model and older Kirby model manuals? I am working on a project where I am re-type-setting the old kirby vacuum manuals.

If you have any or all of these manuals I am looking for, could you please scan every page of the manual and email it to me? If you do not have the ability to scan them, then pictures of every page would work too assuming the pictures are clear enough for me to read everything.

Private message me or email me if you prefer not to post here. I would be happy to:
1.) pay $ you for taking the time to scan the manual(s) for me
2.) or I would be happy to mail you a re-type-set manual when I get them complete 3.) or I have a couple items I can trade with for the scans such as a.) black kirby wheels or b.) belt lifter caps

Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to help me with my project and please do not post anything in this thread un-related to my question as it takes away from what I am asking help for.

Checkrate/Likes Mike (chicagomike), I wonder if one of our English Kirby collectors, James Brown (kirbymodel2c), could help you out on this since he has one of the "R" series manuals (the 3R) as well as for the 1C (the main manual is the same, except that the later "1C" models also includes a supplemental page showing you how to change the light bulb)? ~Ben
