James & Kirby display...
James, you have a very -b e a u t i f u l- collection & display of your Kirbys. Most of them seem (L@@K) to be in primarily original restored condition. wtg -->> woohoo Someday it would be nice to see/view them in person. (One of the best collections I've seen in 25+ years in the business. I wish now, that I'd have saved some more of the old Kirbys thru the years! Good ole-fashioned hindsight. LOL) Again, congrats on a nice collection. hagd all Bill | ||

Thanks
So which/what model kirby's do you have? What kirby models have you saved in the past? Thank you for your complements. I have them displayed from left to right starting with early the model C top left to the classic III at the bottom right with the Tradition & Heritage standing up on the floor to the left of the pics. James:o) | ||

James, in the first photo, I didn't realize that was garland! I thought those machines were just that sparkly!!!! You've got a great display. The second photo shows off the machines very well, and while not so fuzzy, the machines are still very sparkly!!! Great job! Rick | ||

ho ho ho...
Charlie I didn't realise you was so young. Did your parents buy you your first kirby? Did they own a Kirby B4 U got it? Maybe one do you will be able to get to see my kirby's in person. I hope you get a Dual sanitronic 80 or 500 series soon. Hi Rick, I'm not sure why the pics turned out fuzzy?? I used the same camrea I always use. They are sparkly but have to dust them regular ;o) If I had a bigger room I'd have them all on display. The first time I saw them lined up in order as they are now, I enjoyed seeing them all on display. It will be nice to see them ALL together on display at the some time one day hopefully :o) James :o) | ||

I have a really cool Kirby Com-vac 1600 that is a heritage with the wide nozzle and the orange bag, but the bag is a lot bigger and can be used with either a dump or heritage paper bags. It has a handel realese and the switch is moved up to the top of the handel on the front of it so you can turn it off with your thumb. It's kind of a stupid vacuum but I love it anyway. The head does not come off and it's not a shinny chrome. It's painted gun metal grey. I will have to get a picture of it soon. | ||

James, own(ed) & saved...
Hello James, The only model I had ORIGINALLY saved, were a few Sanitronic VIIs that were in relatively good condition, as I had grown up with this model. (We had the whole entourage.) Then I came across a Dual Sanitronic 80 in good condition also. These were then just stored, 'for a rainy day' project. Years past, then... NEXT was the upcoming 25 years in the business anniversary ('09); so, I thought it would be a nice idea to put together a collection of all the 'Kirby' related models. The rest is history. (So far, I don't feel I need to join "VA".) * see bottom I figure the trickier part will be the acquiring of all the models; so at present the restorations are not on the front burner, so to speak. Now I have 23 of the different models, (in various conditons, new to 'well-used' --LOL), at present to be restored out of a total of 35 ± total machines owned. They range from the 505 to the Sentria. Hopefully I find that dog-gone 'magic wand'; then they may be ready for display, sooner rather than later. Anyway, enough about me & mine, CONGRATS again to you James. They do L@@K Gr8!!! That was one of the first things I noticed is that you have them in order. The "Rs" must be hiding in the closet. LOL I hope to get back to your beautiful country again, maybe the opportunity to see your collection in person would present itself?!?!?!? cheers or cheeryoooooooo hagd all Bill *VA = Vacuumaholics Anonymous (Rick LOL) Ps: MANY of you, (VCCC 'dues members', as well as 'forum ONLY' members), also have some very nice or beautiful collections that I have seen of other brands of vacuums; however no offense, my TRUE admiration is for Kirbys & their loyalty to quality (...so far anyway--LOL). | ||

that comvac is a beautiful machine I thought that there were other machines that Kirby Made that had a really wide nozzle, and that was attached to the machine permenantly. I think it was called the lincoln or something to that effect as it was Red, white and Blue | ||
