So you bought it to flip it. Nice. There's a kid (teenager) who lusts over those old ones and will pay a fortune for one.
The R series was a Retail only model. No door-to-door sales. That's why it's missing the sani-emptor, the portable handle, and many other features that made the door-to-door model enticing for an 'in the home' demo but wouldn't lend themselves to a 'shop sale'.by There were four different R models. 1 - 4. They corresponded to the 'in home' models with the same number designations. During the Great Depression, manufacturers did what they had to. Hoover screwed over their salesmen with the NORCA models at that same time in history that Kirby was. They were counting on the fact that people had no 'instant' communication and wouldn't know there were different models (at much different prices) available. | ||

Thank you for answering the email. I hope you get what you are asking. 18 thousand is too steep for my blood. | ||
