My favorite Kirbys are almost anything in the 500 series and the Sanitronics, especially the Dual Sanitronic 50. I have a 512 and a D-50 in my collection, the D-50 being my most recent and almost finished restoration project. One of the best sources of information on Kirbys that I know of is the Kirby section of Charles Lester's website. There is a link to it from the links section of the Vacuumland website. Jeff |

Reduced for posting. I have the 1700 x 2193 pixel scan if you want it emailed to ya for printing. I never gave Kirkys a second glance until Pete showed me his and let me drive a powerdrive model as well. I really liked the Blue Tradition (the one with the notorious dye bleeding bag) for it's upbeat happy appearance on a robust heavy vacuum - dark blue is so slimming), and the green Santronic 80 for it's 'earthyness' appearance and the smaller proportions. Then of course I just had to have a G3 powerdrive 'bulldozer' model to complement the Heritage II...and well, that's how it goes in this infectious hobby. You get intriqued by one make or model and suddenly they seem to start falling out of the sky. LOL Dave. |
