These three pictures are of a contraption I hope to do on an American Lincoln Super Sweep the day I get my hands on one.
The machine I am experimenting this on is my non-working 1968 Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 from Thom Stepien (kirbycollector). I came up with this idea based on: a) the Dual Sanitronic 80 and the 1972-79 Super Sweep shared the same trim color; and b) when the Tradition came out in 1979, as it was the first civilian Kirby with a disposable bag system, sales of machines with the shake out bag began to level off (that is, more businesses were purchasing machines equipped with shake-out bags than we civilians). c) This Tradition bag is of the shake-out type, hence why I know it's rare, and that I find it easier to use than the vinyl disposable/shake-out bag the Super Sweep originally came with. ~Ben |
