I am amazed by this listing. How many models of Kirby parts are on this machine? :)

Callie,

If you had come across that machine personally, I hope you can pick it up, that way all the wrong parts can be taken off and given to those VacuumLanders who want those parts for their machines by color.

Cobbled together by a vac shop to clear out misc Kirby parts from their junkbox?

The Classic III safety switch / speed selector must be disabled in order for a Sanitronic head to work with it.

Tom,

Or. . . you can add some pseudo attaching lug (whether of wood or epoxy) to the back of the Sani nozzle casting to make it work with the Classic Omega/III/Tradition speed switch. Just be sure to place that pseudo lug where it will meet with the speed switch arm.
