I got a Sanitronic Vlll today with a set of attachments. Various parts appear to have been replaced over time. Replaced bag, mismatched wheels and trim.. But it looks clean and well cared for (for a vacuum). It has a white Kirby-branded cord. Is this the same mythical white cord found on the 562?

Pam,
Yes, and what a great find this Kirby is! The model is actually called "Sanitronic VII," and it was produced from 1963 to 1965. That off-white cord with the sirocco male and female plug ends is very rare! I have actually seen one Dual Sanitronic 50 with the white cord, too. Notable differences of the VII from the 562 include: * New-style O-ring on fan case. * Hose now has a permanently-attached universal suction/blower coupling. ~Ben |
