Congrats! The tradition was a great kirby indeed! For a stuck zipper, when in doubt, 3-in-1 oil. One of my favorite tools. Drip a little into the sipper mechanism, and wiggle it around a little. :) |

on the first run Traditions occurred because people weren't careful when changing attachments and the pin to activate the switch was in the wrong position. Force the headlight cap closed, and there goes the switch. I sold the Tradition, and I have to disagree. The Tradition was a fine machine. The color, first Kirby with a factory disposable bag option, all made it a very good machine. Sold a hell of a lot of them. Took a lot of older Kirbys in on trade just because of the bag. The safety switch problem was corrected mid run when Kirby went back to the Classic Omega/Classic III switch.

No, it doesn't. When I got it the belt was just fine, but when they tested it, the belt must have not been connected. |

This is where the zipper is stuck. The teeth on the zipper are a little crooked in that spot. Any suggestions...? |

Yes, like I said, my favorite vacuum of all time! I made a steal, too! Only $20.00!! PS: Are the safety switches or the Trad the same as on the Classic O and Classic III? VW |
