or just bojack w tradition trim?

Would have liked that top cord hook but too rich for my taste
looked like the emp was painted & someone colored the logos & fitted it w tradition trim

It's BoJacked

The only blue factory Kirby I am aware of is the Tradition. All the Duel 50's were brown, and 80's were green.

That certainly would have been a good looking regular model. Dark blue sets it off well.

Almost looks like a good job but pics are not close enuff to see detail. I see the emp metal is painted blue.
That would indicate that the emp itself is painted & they didn't mask the metal. Some of the tan is wearing through.
I also suspect the logo & the belt lifter may have also have had some similar poor blue make up.

Interesting though.

I do like the tan as it sort of blends in nicely & doesn't scream vac...it's sort of artwork!

I should hope so as I have 2 of them in my clan...

Actually...

I was told by fellow club members that you could have your machine rebuilt by Kirby with the "current color" of the model that was "new" at the time....

Just something i thought i'd share

Yes, You could have any kirby rebuilt in the colors of the new machine of the time. I have a sanitronic-7 in that same blue color and it says kirby rebuild on the label.
