Thx I'm not in a hurry to get rid of it.but will keep you guys in mind should anything change you guys are pretty far away from Wisconsin. I've looked into the model j a bit it says there are grease points on the motor would an electric motor oil suffice? | ||

I have the early Vacuette Electric. The switch is on the machine because the handle is removeable to use the small handle for stair cleaning. Mine was sold by the door to door salesmen. It has a yellow bag with "Vacuette Electric" printed on it in their font.

I reply: It's possible the shop dealer could be an a-hole about it and ask you to prove you're the original owner, but I think the positives associated with squirting a little oil into the ports and maybe giving it a cleaning and adjustment would be more than worthwhile. If I were a Kirby dealer, I would certainly honor that guarantee. The cost in time and materials would be inconsequential and goodwill would be priceless. It could also make for an interesting PR opportunity. to stress the amazing durability of Kirby vacuum cleaners, as well as the dedication of Kirby dealers. | ||
