I remember those! I purchased one for $5 at a church rummage sale not working, 25 years ago. I gave it after I put a new plug on to the kids when they moved away to their first apartment together with three little ones they used it for several years my little squirt formed an attachment to it but sadly they left it in the garage when they moved back home. When they would come to visit he would play with my heritage 2, which when he got his first place I gave to him.

Beautiful machine...

I've had two of those and I just love the charcoal and orange color scheme. The first one my dad gave to me after I told him about rescuing a Gsix from beside a dumpster. My girlfriend at the time borrowed it and never gave it back. I finally replaced it last spring with one that turned into a massive refurbishment project. I gave it a little bit of a frankenkirby treatment by upgrading the dump bag setup to a filter bag system with Heritage II parts. Some may call it bojack but I don't care.

It's cool that you have all the paperwork and the tool kit to go with it. Some may accuse me of blasphemy but I also prefer the Heritage style turbo brush to the spinning Zip brush.

Enjoy!

I’ve always wanted one

Ever since I’ve known kirbys I have wanted that one. You se H2s and G3’s all the time but H1s are a little less seen, and I like the color scheme. 👍🏻
