Rob,
Your Omega looks terrific! It appears your metal fan is still original going by the fact it says "74" on it. Here's my 1974 Kirby Classic Omega. The original warning label and pinstriped bag are not present. Before I restored it, the headlight cap that came with it when I got it was broken and the cap spring was gone, as was the suction relief vent on the nozzle which had duct tape over its opening. ~Ben This post was last edited 03/17/2017 at 20:39 |

Thanks Charles! I have a 505 in the works right now and then my mom's DS50 will be done this fall. If you tackle your DS50 and have questions or issues, just let me know! |

Hello Jack.
If you can get them for the price Rob mentioned above, that would be great; as they are giving them away. :-)) The office must have a surplus, or they're working off old/obsolete prices. Genuine Kirby is only: $10.90 + s/h. [rear bearing] Genuine Kirby is only: $9.18 + s/h. [front bearing] If I may be of assistance with your Kirby wants & needs, let me know. Cheers & hagn/d all, Bill |
