Well done, Casey. Now that is a comprehensive Manual at 52 pages with all the accessories shown! And just what I like to see - big bold clear scans suitable for printing...which I will tonight. :-) I've got 'real' Manuals for the Classic III and the Heritage II but since I like Blue so much my Tradition is a favorite. Now if I could just find a flexible shaft I could saw me up some plywood... Dave

Thanks for all the comments guys. I love the look of the blue and chrome together on the tradition too, especially since its the only blue Kirby. Now all this talk about the jig saw kind of makes me want to try mine hehe. | ||

I have used the Kirby Jigsaw several times for sawing wood,,,and will have to say it did a deceint job. Wasnt anything fanci mind you, and the wood wasnt very thick, but i thought the Kirby Jigsaw performed very well. Just have to make sure to have installed a new saw blade, and hold the Jigsaw as steady as possible in use, but all in all, it really is a deceint saw.

My Tradition would've originally had that safety switch, but it was replaced with the more traditional Kirby safety switch. I think only the very early models had that safety switch shown, and they were gone by the spring of 1980. | ||

Here's a picture of the vacuum itself, I'll get more photos of it with its boxes and accessories later.

you need to twist the emptor tword the machine more untill it clicks, it may feel like you will break it but you won't and that is the proper position. | ||

Here's the envelope with an order form that was inside the package of bags, the package of bags is about as old as the vacuum itself.
