Erick, you lucky & plucky smart feller...
If you bought this as an investment, and considering Charles' prior thread enthusiasm, yer gonna want to hang on to this baby for a few years before selling it off for a few fast bucks. On the other hand, if you wanna just get rid of it you should gift it away at the Convention un-restored. Old Davy, who hopes he doesn't have to retire in 10 years on the meager proceeds of vintage vacuum sales. :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK | ||

And the nozzle and fan case before I started polishing it, but after the bumper was removed.

And my polishing progress so far. This is a far harder job then a Kirby because the fan case and nozzle are part of the same casting and you can't get to the lower part of the fan case and the back of the nozzle.
