Yes, it can be done...
I remember seeing the thread to which you are referring. There's no reason it wouldn't work, because all G-series machines are the same beneath their color schemes. If I recall correctly, it involved cutting a notch in the rear shell to accommodate the switch, although I don't know why they didn't just use the rear shell from the G7, and transplanting both the switch and its associated circuit board, which required a bit of wire splicing.

@kloveland. I wasn't aware of any '2 speed coil". my 'buddy' who helped me modify mine ( in the link posted by someone else..) did most of the work. He is an old time Kirby technician and Never mentioned to me of any mod to make it like a Diamond edition other than what we did....It just cuts the power to accomplish the lesser suction/speed that the switch serves.
