It's true. The Kirby Classic III 2CB was the last machine which did not officially have the option of disposable bags; that honor being reserved for its successor, the Tradition 3CB.

I've also done the same as Ben and put the Mini-Emptor and Bag from a Legend II on my Classic III. |

I've also done the same thing that Ben recommended where I took the bag and mini emptor from a Heritage II and installed it on a Classic Ω that I redid for my dad for fathers day.

Classic III bought new in 1976 and sent back to the factory for a rebuild. Kirby offered a paper bag conversion which was the Legend II bag assembly with original red trim. Works wonderfully. This is a daily driver.

That modern bag complements the wood grain trim on the handle quite nicely for a very classy looking '70s vibe that's both classic and contemporary at the same time. If I were restoring an Omega, I'd be sorely tempted to copycat that thing.
For what it's worth, I don't see that as bojack or or a frankenvac. It's more of a restomod. |

Thank guys. I actually copycat someone in here. I googled and saw that picture. I had do mine. I still have original handle. I'm afraid going break. It makes cracking noises since its two pieces. |
