Foot Switch Button, and Spray Gun Questions for Kirby 519 |

So I have a Kirby 519 that needs a new power switch button. The switch itself works just fine, but the cover button is missing. Does anyone know which one/which color I need? From the look of the vacuum, it should just press on over the metal plunger in the housing. Is that correct?
I also wanted to know if the glass jar for the sprayer was special in any way. I am curious if it was a generic mason jar or not. I don't have the jar and would rather not buy another suds-o-gun to get the jar for my set. | ||

Answer
The 519 would have a red push button power switch. Kirby sells either green or tan. If you contact kirby needs on eBay he probably has one or can paint one.
The sprayer was for the suds o gun. This was you for spraying paint, cleaner etc. The jars are kirby specific. There are quite a few companies who sold a similar glass bottle sprayer for vacuums. | ||

vacuser, if you have a red one, I would love to get it from you. Just let me know. My Kirby is my main vacuum, so I am not sure how well a painted one would hold up.
Lesinutah, thank you for your reply. I was kind of hoping it would have been something like "it was the 50s, just screw on a mason jar..." Looks like I'll be scavenging for a new glass bottle on ebay so I can try out the carpet/upholstery cleaner. Again, thank you both so much for your help. | ||
