Thanks for all the replies and details about the 1cr. I do have an omega and it has bearing issues, but the classic 1cr doesn't. And it looks as if it were rebuilt at any time, it was many many years ago.
As for the power cord issue, it's not in the cord at all. The prong inside of the sweeper, back by the power switch where the cord inserts is what the problem is. I highly doubt ill ever actually use it. I bought it just to have. Also, I have noted that the castings have "69" stamped on them. Does this mean anything? | ||

It means the approximate date of the introduction of those parts you mention. The Kirby Classic 1CR originally went on sale in February 1970; its instruction book was printed January 1970.
Despite its obvious departure from the "lightweight" Kirbys (from the model C to the Dual Sanitronic 80), it sold well enough that in 1972 Kirby established a second manufacturing plant in Andrews, TX. ~Ben | ||
