Does this 513 have a 3 amp motor or a 4 amp motor? If it's the latter, yours is a mid-production model. Early models shared the same 3 amp motor and gray handle grip as models 508-512, while the mid-production models had the same 4 amp motor and the red handle grip as the 514 and 515.
The 515 is the only pre-1956 Kirby model - it's obviously the last model to use the old-style motor design from the 1930s - to get out with a 10-blade metal fan. ~Ben | ||

Hero Shot Thanks for the heads up and advice on some of the little stuff. It looked dull in the other shots, so here goes. It is the 3 amp with the old logo, but there is the newer 10 blade fan in there. I think it has been serviced over the years.

I would actually like to hear this thing running ...
For now, hear this Kirby 510 (owned by Reggie Ridlen) with a 10-blade fan in place of the original 6-blade one. ~Ben (KirbyClassicIII) CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK | ||
