So every now and then I find my self buying and restoring kirby vacuum cleaners.... I just find them cool mechanicly they are a throw back to when things lasted and haven't changed fuck all in 60 years.
I found this particular one at cash converters and bargained them down because I knew it had been there a while.
If you have no idea what these things are think Morrison reel mower but for your carpet they have a spinning brush that basically combs your carpet up all poofy like an 80's women's hair.
Just like a Hillman hunter rather than a Rolls Royce they just seem to survive.
Tonight I ripped it to bits and polished the housings up to get it looking loved again.
Will fit new drive belts tomorrow and fit the cleaned up bag and see how it goes.
