I picked this machine up at an estate sale two weeks ago for the nice price of $5. As you can see, it was absolutely filthy and gross. However, underneath all that nastiness, I saw a beautiful Kirby. With very minimal scratches, it didn't appear to need any unobtanium parts, so today, I decided to test my skills and give this machine an extreme makeover. Mind you, I already had a nice D50, but it's scratched up and stuff. After 5 hours of hard work, I'm very happy at how it turned out. Yes, I did put on a genuine Kirby replacement bag, as the old one was in very good shape, and I think it should be preserved.

The best Kirbys ever I think....The first 2 D-50s sold by the local Kirby dealer in my hometown when they went in business in 1967 are sTILL BEING USED by the original owners! |
