20:27 "kinda disappointed in my polish job" Dude is the Kirby made of metal or mirrors?! You did a hella great job!

[@coltonpreslar3026]

Marvelous job on the restoration

[@GearheadStew]

Excellent series, thank you! Thinking of doing a functional restore on my old Gen 3 and the information here will be invaluable.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@subarufan1237]

I definitely love it and the polish is fine man your restoration on this machine was so good I wish I could restore my Generation 3 like yours

[@AwesomeVacuums]

Came out great 👍

[@narcissistinjurygiver2932]

your polish job came out just like mine did. I need to replace my cord, rear wheels and the belts. I fitted a led bulb in mine. I got the whole set up for 20 usd as well. How do you know where to set the brush height?

It's not too creepy and it's one of my favorites it's silent my sister in law Kathy has a sanitaire.

Do you have any 1930's and 40's models?

[@coltonpreslar3026]

I was wondering if this would fit my tradition since I upgraded bag hose the big black one like in your g3 and has the twist bag holder like yours?

[@TheGoldenHillFarm]

Great restoration. I'm currently doing a light restoration basically just a very good cleanup on mine but one thing that's definitely bad is the handle pivot. I see you rebuilt the old one with a new one. How did you do it? Thanks

[@PerformanceReviews]

I'd highly recommend just putting a new one in. The only reason I rebuilt the one was for historical accuracy.

Is this just something you do for fun or is that now for sale

[@PerformanceReviews]

Just for the collection.

[@tyler2610]

Please replace that rear wheel cover for my OCD :)

[@PerformanceReviews]

Ad soon as I track one down I will. It bothers me too 🙂

[@tyler2610]

@@PerformanceReviews Are they not easily available? Like you said one nice thing about Kirby is how long they make parts available. I sure wish that was the case with Royal, almost 100% of the service parts are now unavailable for my canister vacuum (granted it is over 20 years old now).

When should be a good time to change a diamond edition cord that is not yellowed in anyway shape or form. Should I wait for it to catch fire? Lmao
