Such a beautiful Kirby! The later 500-series red-trim models, 516-561, are my favorites.

(P.S.: I wonder how long it will take for these photos to appear on a certain Pinterest page...)

WOW. Absolutely stunning! Do you buff your castings with a bench buffer or do you use a drill/angle grinder?

@ vacuser - Too bad the same can't be said for many other people's photos.

Thank you all for the support !

Side note :
for accuracy I would like to clarify that the “Handi-butler” in the original images is the incorrect version . The 519 featured a clear golden cap . It was also the first to be designated Mark II !

I felt like the red would look better with the pic tho 😆
