Wow you're like the 3rd or 4th person after me with a mystery Kirby with no ID tag! Who is shaking these out of the woodwork I wonder?
I've been collecting all you guys' snippets from these threads to hopefully use to ID my own I posted here last month. www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-... |

The first bunch of my photos Is 505 and 508. 505 has 6 blade metal fan and 508 has 6
10 blade metal fan. The 598 fan would have been 6 blade. Brush role 505 is original has belt cap not belt lifter. The 508 has different sizes screws on each side where the 505 has same size screws on both sides which I believe is correct. Around badge of 508 is gold where 505 is silver. The wheels on 505 all original black and had washers visible behind screws. The 508 original l Black but no washers. The top of brush nozzle notice I believe 505 has eased section. The 508 has part number of it but 505 didn't The underside of 59t And 50i have different texture by exhaust. 510 I'm pretty sure 513 to 515 brush roll which opens ebtirhy. 50t and 508 didn't have sweet aire 510 does took pic of it. Oh I just washed 505 bag hanging up. The 510 has bag from kirby Nike. 505 top bag assembly is different than 508 Just some pics see what yours has in on in. |

Pic 8 508 serial number e 413251 I don't understand date codes but 508s started production in 1948.
Pic 9 505 bottom this is safety switch wiring. It has a black plastic housing only on 505 maybe 1st year produced 1945. I have seen similar on 4c maybe 3c late 30s kirbys. Pic 10 full bottom view of 505 notice gold around 505 plate. |
