Here are a few pics of my new Kirby Dual 80. A special thanks to Roger Lequea, Greg Nunn and Fred Nelson for making my dream come true--a Dual 80. I love it.

Mike, that sure is a beautiful Kirby dual 80!!! I am betting that it didn't look one bit better the day that it left the factory. | ||

Your D80 is just stunning!
This is Fred picking up his machine in Omaha. These machines are just incredible when they come back. Patience is a virtue but the payoff for a short wait is better than new. Terry, Fred, Mike and I all have machines done by this shop. The owner is a vintage car collector and has the polishing wheels in the basement of the shop.
