Curious if any of you Kirby collectors might be willing to discuss working out a way for me to acquire the following bits. I always hunt ebay, haven't turned these up yet:
For my D80:
(1) Original green Dual Sanitronic 80 Hose
For my 562:
(1) Model 562-specific "Sanitronic" bag top Trim cover and beaded chain (I have an original cover on the machine already, but previous owner sliced the opening wider and fitted a hanging spring...)
(2) A complete headlight socket, set screw and full wiring--this is completely missing on my machine. I'm guessing it was completely removed from inside the motor housing...no sign of it being "chopped"
(3)...not gonna happen, but would love the off-white/brown connector 562 Electric cordset.
(4) Complete 562 accessory attachments/Striped box. Missed out on a NICE / Unused set on ebay a bit ago...
Classic 1-CR
(1) Emptor assembly (maybe even one from a Tradition if it's a direct fit--might be nice to have this machine with the Tradition's paper bag setup)
(2) Lower bag/emptor trim guard
(3) bag top Trim cover
(4) bag hanger/hanging rod and hook
ZERO urgency on any of it...just some things that come to mind and interested to see if anyone's up for discussion.
Kirby model 562 with attachment box and attachments
I I'm new to this site and I have recently come across a Kirby model 562 with attachments box the box is in rough shape I have not even plugged in machine in to see if it works yet. All the attachments in the Box are in separate smaller boxes. I am very interested in getting rid of it I have no use for it I do believe I have another older Kirby in my storage that is in good shape it runs very well. Anyone interested can get in touch.
