Thank you!

I love the Bags Bags Bags page. You have truly out done yourself here. Your friend Alon would be very happy with what you have created in his name, and you should be very proud of your hard work, you have given all Kirby collectors a wonderful gift. Thank you again.

I just uploaded images of the very first belt cover “knob” and a 560 manual ( thank you Charles Lester for the manual )
The original “dial “ belt cover instructions on the Model C booklet are quoted below ; “ To Attach: Remove cap on front of nozzle. Turn cap counter- Brush Belt clockwise ¾ of an inch (until clamps release) and lift off. The removal of this cap reveals an opening which gives access to the belt which drives the brush..” Www.collectingdust.com | ||

Les
No I just polished them , bc I had to remove the trim which i prefer not to but in this case the original was in bad shape and broke .
Here is a 4C with the trim and unpolished rivets . In this case I didn’t remove the trim before polishing .
