So I have a Kirby ds50 in my stable now and I'm looking for a couple of parts to complete her. She's a trash rescue that actually works,though! I'm looking for a new light bulb(and lens cover,if applicable)and the belt release knob on the front of the vacuum cleaner. Mine takes the triangular-shape type with the Kirby badge on it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Y'all have done a great job helping me keep my vintage vacuums humming along!

Forrest
Forrest,
I had a trash-rescued Dual Sanitronic 50, also... though only briefly. I sold it within a month since it was nearly skeletal. ~Ben

Wtf
The d50 logo on headlight hood can't be removed. If you do you just ruined it. You can remove the headlight hood off a d50 and put on it. I have a d50 headlight hood on one of my d80s.
If you have a machine you want to switch out headlight hood I can tell you how as it's tricky. If you notice much heated debate on sanitronic colors. I have a 562 sanitronic with correct matching everything. I have a sanitronic 7 with matching everything. I have a d50 and a d80 all with matching correct trim etc. I'm not going to explain the colors mind are all original. There is various original colors that are correct for machine. Hmc has tan ends and white cords which is original and very rare. There is a few parts machines on eBay but there thrashed and one is missing d50 Kirby logo on the hood. Just don't take off lens on the hood it doesn't go back on. If you look at the bottom on the model plate it usually is color of trim original to that vacuum. It's not perfect but if you match model plate you probably have correct trimmings. Les Did I mention don't take off hood. | ||

OH - and YES, a D80 belt lifter will work in the D50. All the same except the decal under the lens | ||

Kirby ds50
I removed the old belt lifter with no issues.I have a new one on the way. Apparently,I caused some confusion about the lamp lens;I thought maybe it had a diffuser lens under the hood like my g5,but realized later the ds50 didn't have those at all,so I'm good on the lamp,except for a new bulb. A new belt is in order,too. Thanks again for your help and support !
