Well, I’m quickly seeing the helpful nature of so many people in this group. I wanted to say a quick thank you to all those who’ve helped me (you know who you are).
Just a couple of days ago, I received a message from another member informing me that if I needed any accessories for my D80, that he had many, and what was best is that he lives within 2 hours of me. Well, turns out that he also had another D80 (metal fan, a few things about it better than mine) and with all accessories (rug renovator, handi-butler, attachments - all green, all in perfect condition in original box, including original owners manual) I couldn’t resist. He came by today and i tested it out... Here’s some photos of the machine and it’s attachments, as well as a couple of me using it. I have to apologize for me being in my scrubs, as I work at a Veterinary hospital and was off early, also having a bit of a Chron’s flareup, so as excited as I was and still am, just not feeling too great, so I didn’t bother to change into normal attire... |

I have 2 or 3 attachment boxes. I may have 2 handi waxer not sure. The only thing Chris I seen you have I don't(I may have but don't think so). The green bumper pads you put under wheels when using handi Butler or attachments. I have only seen blue ones. I recently acquired a Omega all original except they wired a d80 light that is just the bulb. I believe it has all attachments but I'm not positive.
Chris I'll say it again those parts are pristine like there brand new. Don't lose green strap I have 2 they were gifted to me and there super hard to find. The green hose is also hard to find in good condition. Kirby needs has a CD with vacuum repair and parts manual from 505 to 560. I also got exploded diagram that has 505 to sentria. I suck at structuring sentences. Use a zip brush with hose if you have further on couch it's amazing. If I recall you have d80 heritage sentria 2 sentria and avalir. I assume you have zipper brush. Using zipper brush spool up with motor humming with metal fan is awesome. Les |

I am posting pics. I think I have original vacuum box. They put rug rennovator accessories and other boxes inside it. I don't have it pictured but the floor waxer came in generic box with brown lettering. I believe it fits inside the vacuum box.
First pic is a green pistol grip it's on like 513 handle that's why it looks funny. 2nd pic is attachment box not all are in box but I have 2 sets. The third is 2nd pic box closed Last pic I believe is vacuum box. I got basically everything except handi Butler flex shaft and the platform green pads for wheels when using like handi Butler. Les |

I sent email. I was going to say heritage had the weirdest attachments jigsaw first turbo brush different than zip brush.
Have you tried zipper brush on d80 yet. I may try to finish up d80 and use zip brush. I was just finishing up royal today and organizing d80 items. The waxer is big clunky thing. I even have was for it. I wonder how that would go 50 year old was. I also have those sausage compound things 2 lol. Ya I emailed you hit me back just to chat your biggest fan this is Stan(Eminem lyrics. Les |

Hey
Holy cow your not kidding. I had 2 prior posts vanish. When I tried to reply to you on your commentit wouldn't let me type. I apologise. I will proof read my posts. Looking at my post I have no idea what I was saying. If I was drinking that might justify this but I'm sober. I apologise again. I will now preview this before posting. Les I could use a few commas etc. Sorry again. Les |
