Sorry for the delay - have not been on here for a while... IF you are passing through my area we might be able to arrange something, as I do have a spare fan in my junk box. I can even include the rest of a vacuum if you want it. Just let me know... | ||

The two 'good condition' units (first picture) have been sold. Everything else listed is still available. | ||

Correction and addition... I have THREE units that are restorable, not just two. Also I have two metal handles for the Heritage (with the turbo wheel on top). | ||

Wonderful machines!
Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my progress on these Omegas, I picked up two of them from Rob.
So far, I've only been able to do a little bit of work on them, but they're turning out to be really great machines! Here's a few pictures of the process so far. I haven't gotten to actually polishing them up yet, but I'm getting there. So far I've just removed most of the oxide from one of them with a couple of different things, but eventually they'll be back to shiny! The first pic is the steel wool I used, then the second shows the power plants and rug nozzles in the shipping box. The third is when I took everything out to verify it all came through. The fourth and fifth are before pics, then the rest are in-progress pics until the last one, which is where I stopped for the night. So far I think it's looking good! Eventually I'll get both units completely scuffed, then it's on to the polishing and buffing. | ||

Not bad
I have a few from Kirby guy 505,508 and cr1 coil and a 519 parts machine I got cr1 and trim. I got a green 513-515 a non badged 513-515, 2 omergs in probably worst outer body. Every machine internals other than bearings and one fan is immaculate for the age.
Every machine except 505 and 508 are tore down and internals cleaned and ready for reassembly I just need to push all of them. The 505 and 508 are polished some and we're in good condition when I received them. I did minimal polishing and there almost showroom. Good job so far on the omegas your polishing is further along than mine but I'll ressurecct the body to perfect condition. I'm challenging myself. Les | ||

Rob,
I am glad that this worked out in your favor, and that the remaining machines finally found a good home! ~Ben This post was last edited 07/17/2020 at 04:19 | ||
