Rescued these from some people moving, that were throwing out their dads stuff left out in a outside shed.

Three consecutive models ... I wonder if the man was swindled by a Kirby salesman who came by every time a new model came out...

Haul of a lifetime...

So these all came from the same source?!? And I see the accessories in the background. That's one helluva Kirby haul! And I thought I did well to pluck one Gsix from a dumpster almost seven years ago. Can't wait to see the 'after' picture when you've got them all shined up.

This is a solid example

of the saying, "one mans garbage is another mans treasure."I don't suppose they left the keys to the crotch rocket? Not a problem. Wow.

Ha ha

Yes they were from the same place, and the crotch rocket is mine... One of those "buy a bike they said...you will love it they said" Same thing when I was told to buy a shark..

You're pretty fast on your restorations,

I thought after seeing this bounty of machines that you'd have enough work to get you through the winter, like your "cord of wood". I'm thinking now, end of the year. Are these in better or worse condition than the one's you've done in the past? Too soon to tell I would guess.

Definitely worse

I would say the worst one is the G4 Anniversary edition. Which Im going to start today.....

The g series are easiest to refurbish. I I have 3 sentrias and 2 g6s. I have 5 minutes left cleaning fan Blade. I can San and polish all 5 in an hour. I have 2 Kirby Sanders, 2 bench polisher with 4 different pads on each one. Last I have a dewalt buffer polisher 7 to 9 inch.
The assembly line speeds up the process. 5 g series vacuums almost identical. You just do it five times. I will have 4 to 5 hours altogether restoring them.
