Bought this one from eBay. A very dusty, musty old stag he is. But I’m in the process of cleaning the old boy up. Seems to be all original. Bought a new belt lifter as the old had friggen screws in it. Cleaned the old bag. A real handsome sucker. Diamond in the rough as all Kirbys are.

Beautiful vacuum. 2 black belt lifters original cord and bag. Very nice before putting belt on make sure fan topper(the thing you put the belt on its been a long day) make sure belt clears and doesn't hit belt lifter mine has a cap and tried putting belt on 508 head it would of sheer the shaft. But nice hold on to that.

thanks everybody! And thanks for the tips!
Electrolux, the lettering on the bag was already worn off. I was very gentle when washing it. It came out nice and the remainders of the faint lettering didn't wear off. That bag was awful.. I had to go through several bath tub fulls to get it clear again, even after getting the dust outta it. Very dirty Kirby. |
