I've been working on a sanitronic 7, was making alot of noise and when spinning the fan manually it would catch at a certain point. So I took it apart, turns out there was so much dirt built up on the inside of th case it was between the fan and the housing. Got that cleaned out and now it spins freely! While I've got it apart I'm going to do some extra cleaning and polishing.
Yesterday I found my dream kirby! A Legend 2, $15 at a goodwill and it works! Has strong suction and all that jazz. I'm super excited about it, gonna polish it up and get you guys some pictures later. I also got an Ultimate G for $30, nothing wrong with it. I picked it up basically to resell it since I have a sentria. But after some thought I decided to gift it to my grandpa. He's always been there for us and other family members, he's got a very kind heart and I wanted to give back to him. And that's my update guys! I'll get you pictures of the legend 2 and the sanitronic 7 later once I have them cleaned up! |

Congratulations on your finds and your generosity. I have been promising pictures of my finds for a while. I really need to get on that. |

I understand, with work and life it's easy for stuff to get pushed on the back burner, happens to me all the time lol. And it does feel great! I flipped out when I saw the Legend 2! I walk in, look over to the section they have sweepers in, and I don't see anything. Feeling a little dissapointed, I turn the corner around a large peice of furnature, and there it was! I actually had to remember contain my excitement and not make a scene haha.
