We nabbed this 515.
Came with all the original attachments and everything in flawless condition. All it needed - and still needs is the correct bag. Figured why not have some fun with the tan open top bag that was laying around. | ||

Kirby looks Great!! Your home could be used to film a new Diesel Jeans commercial.(The original had a biker tracking in dirt and then vintage vacs appearing from everywhere to clean up.) | ||

Hahah
Les: I used some rit dye. It came out pretty good I think.
Gary: yes! It sure was in Jacksonville. Really nice lady sold it. She used it to vacuum her perfectly white carpet that was in her garage, lol. She had a G4 for inside the house. Jimmy: I’ve never seen that commercial, but now I’m going to have to look for it. Thanks! | ||

Hmc1981 That really looks great. Did you have to bleach the bag before dying it red or just dye right over the original color? Or does that even effect the shade? | ||
