Vac folks: Look what I got starts with a K rhymes with Kirby

A pretty nice Dual 80. This one had been at a local vac shop for months because a guy had took it in for repairs and didn't have the money to pay for them when done, so they held it for quite awhile. Well today I went back and they sold it to me for a fair price considering he's just serviced it and put in a new brushroll. This will be a non user because around here it would fill up quickly and it's not the sort of thing I want to be emptying. BTW if anyones looking for specific parts you can always email me and when I'm there I can ask if they have them, they have a pretty good stock of old parts.

Tks ben. these are nice vacs other than not being able to use paper bags without retrofitting them. The small head makes them a little more manouverable than the Classics and Traditions. The Legend II's went back to the small head and are wonderful vacuums. Then the power drive G monstrosities, nice but not so good in my book, they're good if you have vast expanses of carpeting but a nuisance to use around and under furniture. Still everyone needs one for their collections LOL

Lovely machine! I have it's twin. They polish up beautifully, looks brand new after the buffing machine. Did you know it has a 2 speed motor? When you attach the hose, a separate switch activates the higher speed. Also the floor polisher attachment. Great machine for lower nap carpet.

I knew they had a two speed motor but I didn't get the attachments for this one I'll be giving it a good going over with a polishing wheel sometime later.
I'll bet the guy who owned it and couldn't pay for the repairs still has them but then I don't know who he is, nor would I want to go ask for them seeing as I now have his vac. If he does there's a good chance they'll show up in the local classified paper.

You go Pete!
