The bag fill tube makes sense now > Surprised no one's said it yet but what you have isn't a Sentria II but a Sentria. That explains why the bag fill tube is a twist-style instead of type F! I was wondering why they would replace the tube with an older style. Thanks for the heads up, I'm...

$80 on eBay bought me a used Sentria II with hose and some attachments, condition described as "working". After some cleanup . . . 1. The Kirby is balanced and rolls smoothly. 2. This thing cleans carpets really, really well. 3. It's incredibly easy to find replacement parts. 4. Height...

Would like to have your vacuum in Photo #4 @vacuumdevil: The brushroll seized up, and it's moderately beaten up from use, but you're welcome to it. My email address should be in my profile if you want to connect.

Christmas came early this year! Our old vacuum seized up about a week ago. The carpet won't wait another week and a half, so I got to open my Royal CR5128Z today. Initial impressions: This is my first high-end vacuum. Wow, what a difference. This thing is a dirt eraser! One pass forward/back...

Hood fabrication? Thanks for the feedback! I can manage a screwdriver, but custom fabrication is a stretch for me. I may be better off finding a used model with the features I want.
