Hello
I do have a you tube channel and I have I think 6 subscribers. I have crap for videos except my 561 HEPA conversion video. I just uploaded my 509 video. I picked it up at the thrift store. It has original everything except for the bag. I stopped by car wash on the way home vacuumed out d80 bag on it. I took it home put my special bag on it. I added led light WD-40 and this is what I have. It sounds brand new. It's pretty sweet video. I hope to add more. I just had issues. Enjoy |

Thanks for the update I had no idea. This is my first Kirby maybe more details would be helpful.
The back of the fan spindle with threads and small amount at bottom of armature as a 70 year old vacuum bottom spindle might be tight and so may have been threads for the fan. It wasn't lubrication just to break free as it might have a little build up. I don't need resto advice to be blunt in kindest regards. It's not a 2c bag it's 4c 505 bag. It runs great and I love the sound of old vacuums. It has no bearing spin down down and brush roll with new old belt, led light it worked like a champ. Thanks Les |

I have a lot of vintage kirbys
. A 3c 3 505s 2 508s and 5 or 6 509-510s. Ya the 3c I may sell as it has a few issues and fixing issues I'd be better to buy another one. The 505s are in near mint condition. 2 508s ones just waiting for a bag other just needs polished. It's all in time. Just not in next few months. I kind of horde good parts for those machines. Thanks Les |
