It sounds like it's part original part unoriginal. The cord is obviously the original grey with red plugs.
The grey wheel is original, the tan ones are newer replacement wheels. The bag is a 1960s genuine replacement bag. Yes light grayish tan bag with red Kirby logos all over it. The grip, nozzle bumper, on-off switch and bag ring are the original red ones. Anything tan is not original. Sounds like a good looking machine. Is the impeller fan the original aluminum one or a newer lexan/polymer (plastic) one? A picture would be nice. Ps, my 508 is like your Kirby Try this link to my 508 video

Do you or does anyone else know where I can get some used or old gray/red (to match the rest) wheels? | ||

Ebay has the wrong color, Kirby Dealer does not have or can he order red. BTW, There is a green Model 80 for $100, but I can't spend that. Somehow, I will find them. Thanks. | ||
