It was something I never thought I'd ever be able to pull off... to acquire ALL of the attachments for my 1979 Kirby Tradition.
So here is the vacuum again, this time, with the hose and the completed attachment set. ~Ben |

I have tested 50-100 Kirby's and one that was under water for a while is the only one that was dead. You may have to fix wires, carbon brush or fan blades but people like us can do this as second nature.
I love traditions. I have a few one made in 4/82 when I was born. I have not in person seen a tradition with the safety switch. I'd look for one on eBay but a green janitronic/ American Lincoln super sweep is what I've been looking for. Nice unique rare setup with probably the coolest Kirby attachment box/caddy/holder they ever made. Les |
