Hello repairman, vacuumlad1650 and All
Forgive me, I don't understand what repairman is pointing out with the link and I don't understand vacuumlad1650's reply. Now I am old so that could be why I don't understand or my tack is not as sharp as it once was. Please let me know what you are talking about or the meaning of what you both are trying to get across. Thank you for looking and hope to understand. Pete |

Just a guess here, but I think it was aimed more at the rather stratospheric price, than the diction/grammar gaffe.

These are some beautiful machines you've got! You must have worked long hours restoring them to better than new. I hope you sell every one for your asking price. Frank |

Why is this guy under hot water?
He makes a living repairing and refurbishing Kirby Vacuums. He is making himself useful and fixing up antique Kirbys, which by the way look absolutely wonderful! He is just like me, but I do Fantoms. I've looked on his eBay before and he is a great guy! I don't know why he is labeled and ignorant or what has you. It's an antique Kirby and it looks to be brand new, that must have taken A LOT of time to accomplish! |

It appears there was a mistake on my part. I had thought the initial post was made to alert people of the machine. As in "people seem to have ignored or overlooked this listing" rather than being derogatory. As for the diction, I had pointed that out, knowing Chicagomike is a member, so he could see it, and correct future listings.

It might help if the OP cleared up what he meant in the subject line.

Hello Frank and All,
Frank, boy do I wish that was my Kirby but it is not, it is one of Michbaels's. His work is perfect and he has a 7 part YouTube video that shows a 509 Kirby being taken apart called: "Part 1of7 How to Completely Take Apart Disassemble Kirby 509 1949 Vacuum Cleaner Complete Teardown" It is interesting and informative and for anyone who has the guts to take their Kirby apart. Watch it so you can see what work is involved in a truly restored vintage Kirby. When I worked for Mr. Condo in the mid 70's I never went that far into a Kirby as Michael does in the video. I would rebuild them, repair them and buff them but I would never could say I restored one like Michael does. Thank you for looking, Pete |

Kick kick.
I have watched Mike's YouTube videos ordered from him. I within last month talked to him on the phone phone about restoring my kirby 510. If you read the description of 562 it explains why it's a prototype. It has dual speed switch and motor only sanitronics are suppose to have. So having g a vacuum there is very few in existence and given that it is the nicest condition of the few prototype. I would say he might be asking too little. The. Man is probably best in country restoring vacuums. He has awards to back it up Lastly he spend a while on phone helping a complete stranger he gained no money. The vacuum is what he says it is he makes kirby company responsible jilted departmentnt to shame Sorry for run on sentences but Mike is world class in every WY I'm a better person to know him. |

My last post was bad.
Mike knows kirbys. THE MOTOR did you catch that THE MOTOR has 2 speeds. It's a 562 Motor with 2 speeds. 2 speed motors were in sanatronics. Now a 562 motor with 2 speeds sounds to me like a 562 sanitronic prototype. I really hope you find the irony that you just need to be quiet. Please stop posting on this thread. If you don't understand you never will. Thanks exit stage right. |

I believe this to be an early prototype for the Dual Sanitronic for a number of reasons, some of which are (thus there are other reasons too):
I fully stated in the listing, " I believe this to be an early prototype for the Dual Sanitronic" if you do not think it is that is A-OK with me but then tell me why it is not.
Thank you to everyone who replied positively in my behalf or had something positive to say about me. :) Lastly, I am exiting stage right..... |
