This is my current collection. I have a Tradition 3CB, Heritage I, Heritage II, 2 Generation 3s (one is currently in the process of being polished and tuned up, I do all my polishing with Kirby Handi Butler tools), a G4, and a Limited 2001 G6. I do need to purchase a G5 soon, it's definitely on my list. That said, I'm currently limiting my collection to Tradition - G6 as any more units are too many to care for. I'm currently even considering selling or giving away one of my G3 units, I just want to make sure I leave it in the hands of somebody who will love and respect it.
I love these vacuums, they bring me joy like few other things do. Hope you enjoy the photos I provide. Please note that the Heritage I, Heritage II, and G4 are all restoration projects that are not finished.
Nice collection, and I don't blame you a bit for being cautious about who you sell/give any of them to. Their your babies, you put time,money and effort into them all.That 2001 G-6 really pops.I keep files on all my vacuums, listing when,where and how I got them. How much they cost,(zero so far) how much time and money was spent on restoring,any trim pieces or other parts that need replacing etc.When you amass say up to 5 D-80's naming them also helps when trying to keep track of what's needed for each one! Thanks for sharing your Kirby family portrait! Billy
