This Kirby was left in a rental house I was painting and was heading for the garbage.
I brought it home. I have not been paying attention. How old is it? At least it works but the brush roll is seized and will not turn. The belt is still in one piece. | ||

Not much dirt in the bag but it really stinks of basement.
Ultimate embarrassment or fantasy for a Kirby to be sucked by a Queen? | ||

Two washes in vintage Zero and three rinses, one with vinegar. The bag smells much better.

How old is it? Since it is a 510 it would have been made in 1950
To get the emptor open turn the handle on the side and swing the bottom of the emptor out. It might be stuck because of all the junk in the emptor. The brush roll looks like there is enough rust and corrosion that the bearings are seized. The good news is that the brush rolls are still available. Part number 1482S for the brush roll The belt is a 159056 If you need to replace the brush roll screws in the nozzle the large screw is a 1461S the small screw is a 1463S | ||
