Marty, The 63's look great. Now that Lark in the background is pretty radical. You gotta give is the story on that one, it looks cool. Alex | ||

Beyond impressed on all three vacuum cleaners. Marty, I assume you hand stitched the new bag and did the embroidery yourself- kudos to your wonderful talent! If only more people could look at that bag and be completely impressed. Also love the wacky Lark pattern- another severe dose of creativity! CKN | ||

That's a Kirby 515, one of my favorites. I'll show you more pics as soon as I have it reassembled. I took a notion to dismantle it late yesterday to give the motor the full "treatment." | ||

Thank you for all of your kind words. What a nice group of people we have here! Morgan - the embroidered logo is hand stitched. In fact, I used the machine to sew up the denim bag...not necessarily easier than hand sewing, but definitely faster. | ||

Great work Marty. If I could I would love to own one of your restored masterpieces. Just wondering, would you be willing to make and sell me a bag for my 63? Sam | ||

Marty, that gasket helps keeps schmutz out of the motor, so it's pretty important. I don't have any spares but someone might, or you could make one from thin cardboard. | ||

Marty & Kirby 515...
Hello Marty. I'm not sure if you are aware that the 'field baffle paper' is still an available part. I will be ordering more, probably next week. They would not be very much cost-wise for you, just let me know. You do great work Marty; however, if it's still available for sale?!?!?!? LOL Hope this helps. Cheers & hagn all. Bill | ||

Marty my Darling, I LOVE all your pics of all the machines! They are really wonderful and I know from seeing your vacuums in the past that they are showroom quality. I'll never forget how you helped me with the Air-Way Chief in Omaha. We oiled those bearings and that vacuum took off! I look forward to seeing you soon in Austin and thanks for your great pictures.
