For those Fort Wayne members that can make it(or others from surrounding areas)the former Allen County Sweeper Shop is being cleaned out by the non-profit organization Tek-Venture. All proceeds from the tag sale and from Ebay sales will go towards the upkeep of the building and supplies for their public projects. Only a limited number of the 200+ machines will be sold at the tag sale coming up the second week of June (exact date coming soon!)The mind boggling amount of vintage and new parts will be listed on Ebay, as soon as an account is setup, as will the remaining machines. (I will keep you all posted) Below are pictures of just some of the things that are in that shop, most inventory has been packed away in boxes but as the sale unfolds more and more parts will be brought out. I have seen vintage Filter Queen parts, original NOS Kirby handle stickers (DS50,DS80, Omega, etc!)Kirby Dirt Meters, Kirby Air Powered Trimmer, Metal Hoover Brush Strips, Brushrolls, Fans, etc!

This is just a taste of the inventory that was in the shop. We are talking NOS Kirby Sentrias, Gen 5's, Koblentz Industrial Upright, Rubbermaid Commercial Upright, on and on. With the exception of the Montgomery Wards Two Speed Cordaway Upright NO OTHER VINTAGE OR ANTIQUE MACHINES ARE BEING SOLD. I know, a major bummer, but TekVenture is wanting to preserve them and make a museum or display area for them so all can enjoy. The Hoover Windtunnel in the front is NOS with the attachments still taped to the back from the factory. Other, not new machines include Sharp Twin Energy, Hoover Guardsman, Panasonic, Kenmore, Royal, and a hoard of used but working Kirbys.

Robert,
I am wondering if you might happen to have a Kirby 500505 double-bristle brush roll (13") that I could use for my Dual Sanitronic 80? Thank you, Benjamin "Ben" Edge (KirbyClassicIII)
