I have not done anything major to any of my vacuums. I have fitted some of my kirbys with Heritage II mini emtpers and use HEPA bags in them.The machines I have upgraded are my Tradition, two D50's, 561, Super Vac 180 and a couple of Kirbys I no longer have. I am using a Lux PN6 on my Lux 1205, only because the proper PN was lost in the move to smaller quarters. I have a D4 SE hose on my Rainbow D3. And I have been using Kenmore 50557 HEPA bags in my Fairfax(due to the extra room in the Fairfax canister I have put in a small box to the bag had something to put up against). And I fitted my Oreck 9200 with an outer bag and bag docking system from a junked 3710.
That's about it. Nothing drastic. Justin |

I've upgraded the bag assembly on my Tradition so that it would accept the newer HEPA bags. It required a little drilling and the use of an Em-tor collar from a Heritage I, along with an F-Style bag adapter. I also "southern engineered" a Kirby HEPA bag to fit over the motor on my Hoover Celebrity in an attempt to improve its filtration.
