I have this Kirby 505 that has been waiting in the wings. This 505 is missing some of its parts, like the cap light wiring. It's also missing the Bakelite safety switch connector. The nozzle trim was pieced together and glued in place. "There is a first time for everything". I think I can repair it to the point it can be used as is. This 505 also has the rare painted emptor. This was in bad shape, but I think I can save it.

Jim,

Looks like you struck gold with this one, because of the painted metal Emtor bottom!
