Awesome finds! My brother has that exact kirby, but his has the bojack paper bag setup that uses eureka F&G bags. One of the great old kirbys, they never seem to wear out. |

The way they are in the pictures is how we got them... I haven't touched either yet. We just got home with them about 2 hours ago. They're both very well kept. |

vintagekitchen, that's why when i tested fired a tradition that was going to be my personal one (not for sale) and the lexan fan exploded, it was going to be switched out with a metal fan from a parts donor omega thats too crapped up to sell. since i had aquired a better quality tradition for my personal collection, its getting the metal fan now. anything trad or older i have will have a metal fan if it doesn't already. lexan fans just fail too often. and heritage's will get the new kevlar fans.

Ben: is there some type of chart you can use to determine production dates for these types of serial numbers? Thanks. |
