How do I Restore a Kirby Vacuum?

They can clean carpets, living room couches and love seats, beds and hard-to-dust places in your home. There is also an optional buffing attachment to wash your carpets and furniture. Restoring a Kirby allows you to extend the life of your cleaning system and Kirby owners often keep their machine for 20 years or more. Does this Spark an idea?
