Thanks Guys. Dan the g3 wasthe firts kirby I ever worked on. While they are ok they are my least favorite of kirbys along with the fist sentria.s. I do love my g5 and may possibly get a g6 if i find a nice one.
I got this Legend II the other day. I forgot to take before pics of it but it was nasty. The only thing I still need to get is tge screw cover plate for the belt lifter | ||

Ben I think the legend II ran for allot longer here in Sa than in the Usa I have seen some stamped 91 and 92 as the g3 was only launched in late 93 in 220v markets. Even with an extra 2 years development the g3 was still a problematic machine here. Later 92 model Legend II's even had the g3 style floor tool for the attachments.
