I went and took my time for lunch yesterday and was a block away from the Goodwill Clearence Store so I decided to go take a stroll.I walked in to a deserted environment and low and behold there stood a Kirby model G5 in marone!! the belt was off track but not broken.I grabed it for $6 and took it home to meet it's sister!!I cleaned it out and replaced its bag.It works great just like the other one I found!!Two Kirbys and two Hoover Steam Vac Floor Cleaners in two weeks!!!

Congrats on an awesome find! Some people have all the luck eh? You really did steal it... I paid 200 bucks for my G5 about 3 years ago on Craig's List. Wish they had a Good Will clearance store near me... the Good Wills here only ever carry modern Bissells and Dirt Devils... they are awful!
Congrats again though! How does the transmission sound?
Here's mine, my brother got it for me from his work, which was a trade in at the Oreck store. It came to me exactly like this, all shiny and complete. I gave him $20 and traded him my Eureka 7450A, which he later gave back to me.
Comes to the Rescue!
