Kulthorn Kirby still exists as a public company in Thailand and utilise their own designs these days.
Kirby Refrigeration in Australia is a name only, although the wholesaling business was originally a part of James N Kirby. it's now a subsidiary of Beijer Group, a Swedish based multi national.

When you guys first mentioned Kirby, I thought it was the vacuum cleaner brand! Haha! Always educational here [emoji41]

Look whose home [emoji7]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...03b0350022.jpg

Also Micheal and the crew at Adelaide Hills provided awesome service again!!! No more press on transmission lines! They changed it whilst in there!

There is one on here somewhere, I suppose we better move over to it before we get punted off here[wink11]

Vacuum cleaners, not something I use very often.
Vacuum pumps, yes dragged a few of those around all over the place for years[bighmmm][biggrin]
Those old 2 stage belt drive ones were bloody heavy, we used to mount them on casters.

What about the old CL series Kirby compressors?
A mate still has one in a box under his house, brand new.Just a boat anchor now.

<sup>LOL no I havent had head light washers for a long time, my horse made off with them!

those old kirby vacuums are scary! had one for a while, was so cool. It would tow the wheelchair about. Stopped picking stuff up and then always smelt like it was on fire so it went bye byes.</sup>
