justin, look for a parts machine on ebay for a speed switch and new headlight lens. a new speed switch's cost for the classic omega series (which includes the CL III) has skyrocketed this year going from 24 to $52. a new healight is $8. i bought a parts classic III i stripped for the armature for $20 total including shipping. also, if you want a mirror shine on your kirby, as a final step, polish it with 0000 steel wool in circular patterns, and dont be afraid to liberally apply pressure when doing so.
