So I just moved out of my parents house into an apartment with some buddies, and we needed a vacuum. They don't know about my collection, (lol), so I went out today and hit up some thrift stores looking for a good older vacuum. I saw a Kirby tradition in pretty good shape, but they wanted $90 for it. I thought that was a little steep, so I managed to haggle them down to $30. My roommates are pretty impressed! The attachments were included as well, so I've spent my whole day having fun with my new machine. The Trad has always been one of my favorite Kirby's, and I have one other one in storage as well. Here's a pic:

Great Choice

Sam, you made a really great choice. $30 for a solid Tradition! Great find. It seems to look pretty good cosmetically, too.

Sam,

Does this Trad have a metal fan (10 blades)?
