You are referring to the "Swedish Massager" unit which was part of the Handi-Butler ensemble during the sale of both the Kirby Classic 1CR (1970-1973) and the Classic Omega 1CB (1973-1976).

As to finding one, that will be a tough one.

As with most rare Kirby parts, eBay will be your best bet. Good luck!

That is one Kirby toy I would not see getting much use! Normally you massage to relax, ect and the noise level would not be good there. Love me some Kirby and tools, but not that one. Might indeed be hard to find.

Not that hard to find

Just look at Handi-Butler units for the Classics and Classic-Omegas. They are part of the package, assuming nothing has been lost.
