Is this the pink Ken Kart on your wish list? Sorry for the ugly red Kirby hose but that will be replaced with something more suitable. Robb |

Tom, Your 116.722 Kenmore is a little older than the 116.730 that will be arriving at my house any day now. The later ones had a hinged "door" that covered the exhaust end and directed the exhaust air downward, and also had clips on the inside of the "nosecone" that the rim of the bag would attach to. Mine has the maroon (or burgandy) trim and nosecone, just like the one my folks used in the basement and for cleaning out the cars. I can hardly wait til it gets here to hear that characteristic "prrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeen" sound when I fire it up!! I agree, it would be interesting to find out just what years they were made. I'm wondering if it could be that the models WITHOUT the door were prewar models and the ones WITH the door postwar models? Jeff |

Rocketwarrior, I was raised in suburban Minneapolis. The area you speak of is very nice. I like Green Lake! |
