I was helping a friend from church clean out his garage today when I found a very sad looking kirby Classic omega buried under a pile of stuff. he said I could have it if I wanted it, if not it was going in the garbage. of course I put it in the trunk of my car! It definitely needs to be rebuilt. the front motor bearing is worn out and very noisy, and one of the brush bearings is toast. the cord is taped in several spots and the bag was packed with smelly rotten dog and cat hair. the bag is like new after I cleaned it out and washed it twice. I would like to rebuild it myself, but I dont know how. can anybody give me some direction on how to do this? and about how much it will cost? THANK YOU!!!

Hello Dustin. If you want to shoot me an email I'll respond back with my contact info & you can call me if you like. I'll help you figure out the rebuilding & any associated cost. And Bill (eurekastar) is correct on both accounts; the Omega is a pretty basic machine to learn on, & I do sell Genuine Kirby parts at deeply discounted prices. Hopefully this is helpful to you Dustin. Cheers & hagn all, Bill |

Hey Dustin, If you were nervous about using any 'tools' other than a spoon, fork & knife; then I'd of told you to hesitate on doing this. ~~lol~~ However, after talking with you Dustin, I feel confident you'd do just fine doing this yourself; & save yourself a chunk of money on the work itself. You've already worked on others & even had this apart. Whatever I may help you with, just call me at the number in the email I sent you, same as the number on your Caller ID. Cheers & hagn all, Bill |
