Thank you Pam (seijun) for letting me have both of these two Kirby Classic 1CRs!
This completes my Kirby Classic trilogy! ~Ben | ||

A Temporary Fix
Here's what I did to my 1972 Classic 1CR: use the Legend II Mini Emtor assembly with the Classic III bag cap!
I did this because many of you here say the F&G bag conversion kit does no favors for machines like this one. ~Ben | ||

@ KirbyClassicIII
Yes that is a very very old video of mine from 8 years ago. It has not been touched since that video was filmed. I was dumber back then and didn't know much about vacuums at all. I'm more of a handyman now at age 25 so it's good I still have it to play around with at learning motor repair. It seems to be the ugly duckling of Kirby collectors, I rarely see these sell on eBay. The last two I seen that went unsold in November 2017 had 0 bids. Been getting into the hobby since last fall, it's just I don;t have a clean workbench right now to work on them, that and it's too cold out.
