I got a Kirby G3 for $11.00, a Sanitaire for $5.00, and a Royal for $8.00. All of which need a bit of sprucing up. They will probably get the spa treatment next week. Both the G3 and the Royal have bad handle springs.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I don't really know what to do with the G3. I already have a nice G3 in the background behind the G4, so I don't really need another one. The Sanitaire has brushroll issues, so I'll have to mend that. The Royal just needs a good cleaning and to get the handle spring fixed.

Nice, an $11 Kirby.

For me there are darn few reasons to voluntarily travel east of the Rockies but that "yard sale" might be one of them. Some day, but I'll need a good sized van if I do!

Clayton,

That Royal looks like a model 606A (1971 to 1975).
