This working Kirby is available for free. First what model is this?
I would like to know what has to be done to get filter bags & fill a tube on this as i have allergies. And is there any other things that get get some extra performance like a different brush roll (which it will no doubt need any way), fan, etc. Kirby fans let me know what you think & i'll try & save this from a dumpster death. |

Absolutely worth saving that machine, good early 500s are hard to come by. The Heritage style em-tor will not fit on pre 1956 (pre 516) models. |

For your allergies, I recommend Kirby/Rainbow/Filter Queen/Aerus Electrolux/TriStar/Thermax/Riccar/Simplicity. |
