Well today has been a very great day today! I happen to get 2 new additions to my collection and I have to say this year has been great for me so far! First vacuum I got is a Kirby Classic 1-CR I unexpectedly got at a Kirby store out at Plano and I really love it because I was only there to buy Kirby pet shampoo for my rug renovator, which I did got, but I happen to see several vintage Kirbys in a very decent price! They were several Classic 1-CRs, Omegas, IIIs, Traditions, Heritage I, II, and a 518! The 518, Classics, and Traditions were $25 each, Heritages $50 and $75. I felt like I was dreaming! Whenever my family and I move to a new house soon, I’ll go back there and buy a Tradition and Heritage! And lastly I got this gem from eBay I won for $50 + $50 shipping, a beautiful Hoover Custom Convertible U4007! I was one of the 9 watchers and I couldn’t pass this baby up! I always wanted one with this style hood and really love the 70’s yellow flower design on the vinyl bag! Both vacuums work excellent! Another thing, the Kirby marks my 50th vacuum cleaner! The Hoover was supposed to be my 50th but that’s life!

Cute little logo on the zipper. And soon I’m going to replace the 2 row brushroll with a 4 row! And it has a new belt installed already!

The serial number starts with the letter T, made around January/December 1971. And the last time this vacuum has been serviced was in February 1993.

Glad to see you found the Plano shop and the cool stuff inside. Swell folks who own the place. Did you see all the parts units stacked in boxes in the back? 25 each and bulk discounts for more than 1! I think he had a 10 for 100 deal going on at one time, lol... | ||
