The light has always been in the hood, not in the nozzle assy. I do believe the 'wings' were removed in later models to reduce costs. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. Always glad to help others save these fine machines! |

I think we've got wires crossed here. On the Heritage IIs that I have seen on the forums and for sale. Some like mine don't have the indicator light on the left hand side of the nozzle and some do. |

Ah - the BPI brushroll performance indicator. I forgot about that. I believe that came in mid-model run as well. |

You've got yourself a nice one there. I believe that's an early Heritage II. The nozzle appears to be the same as the ones that came on the Heritage 1HD, which ended its run in 1984. The "Turbo" branding simply meant it shipped with a turbo brush, although I believe what the Heritage II actually shipped with was a later style Zipp Brush, which are still in use today. Your Heritage will shine up nicely. The Heritage/Legend series are my favorite Kirbys. Keep us apprised of your progress.
