 Joanne and I found this lovely polisher in a tiny little second hand and antiques store in Obsevatary Cape Town
Its going to need some cleaning up and well actually a full rebuild to bring it to its original condition. I see some models had golden bases and others silver This one has been repainted before but I cant tell what its original color is | ||

Kevin
South Africa did have its own manufacturing plant for Electrolux for a long time but it closed down a few years ago. This however was not made here, They were imported from Europe or the UK. I have seen a few examples for sale on Ebay UK and on Ebay OZ.
Sandy It is amazing how many USA citizens immigrated here in the 40's and 50's I have a 2 Kirby 508's and one 510 all with Ratting plates saying 110 v but they have been re stamped 220 v . After chatting to Tom Gasko about this He said that if you were immigrating ( well Kirby will even do it now ) You would take your machine to them and they would convert it for you. I know of atleast 10 500 series Kirbys That means that 10 people brought them from the USA.

Gareth: Thank you for the information. Any ideas as to when your machine was manufactured? Best wishes in restoring it. John: Thanks for posting the photo of your B-9. Do you know when it was manufactured? | ||
