note As to finding a headlight hood trim, I'd recommend using a replacement headlight hood trim for a Kirby 505 through 515. They usually come in tan, but just spray paint it black and cut it down to the length that you need, then fit on and there you go. From Liam | ||

Interesting Fact The factory original bag is extremely rare especially because it's made out of corduroy material. Most bags for prewar Kirby vacuums were herringbone fabric, only a few were actually made out of corduroy material. | ||

Idk
I've seen better.... jk
Very nice job BTW I don't think 505 trim would fit on headlight for trim. I'm basing this off the emtor is smaller, motor is smaller housing, power switch is smaller, everything is smaller. I'm sure the trim could be cut and painted and it would work. What other super rare kirbys do you have hiding in your storage. | ||

Hi Liam , the spare 1c isn’t in working condition I think it’s the motor too . Did you try repairing or taking it to an old Kirby shop ? Sometimes they carry very old Kirby parts or can help you fix it . Feel free to email me with the exact parts you need I’ll keep looking for you . I know how frustrating it can be .
