HuskyVacs, I owe you one! I would like to extend a *MASSIVE* Thank You to HuskyVacs for tipping me off to another Royal 1048 available for sale on FB Marketplace! Not only is this Royal 1048 in as-good-or-better condition than the one I was originally trying to procure from St. Louis -- But...

Thank you Huskyvacs! I messaged the seller who has the other Royal 1048 listed & will wait and see if it happens to still be available. Thank for the tip!

If there's anyone here on VacuumLand who's able & willing to help me bring this Royal 1048 home to my collection, please let me know! I would reimburse you for the cost of the vacuum cleaner ($25) + all packaging & shipping related costs (~$60). --- On top of that, I would pay you an additional...

Thank you all for your replies! Thank you all so much! - I honestly didn't think I'd receive so many responses so quickly! But yeah... like you guys are saying, I honestly don't know if her story is true or not - but regardless of the details, she made it rather clear to me that she wasn't...

Correction: Meant to say the 5.4 amp motor.

Hello! After collecting Royal Prince M501 & M5000 Hand Vacuums and a few Oreck XL uprights for the last couple of years, I finally caved in and purchased a beautiful Green & Chrome Royal 882 Upright with the 5.6 amp motor & 9-blade fan. Needles to say, after thoroughly cleaning, lubricating, &...

Is that Royal Prince 3-501 still available?? If you still happen to have that Royal Prince 3-501 laying around, I would happily be willing to give you a fair price for the vacuum, whether or not there's a bag for it. I must admit, I've been searching for a Royal 3-501 for some time now! - I...

I'm Still Alive & Bag Gaskets Are Still For Sale TheMaritimeGirl - I must truly & sincerely apologize for not responding to your e-mail sooner!!   I must admit I dropped the ball here. - I started a new job in December and have been trying to acclimate to my "new normal"... which has had...

BUMP! 🆙🔝 Does anyone else need a Bag Gasket for their Royal Prince M501 or M5000 Hand Vacuum? I have over a hundred feet of OEM Royal gasket material in-stock & ready to ship! 😁👍 Thanks For Looking! ~Justin in Chicago

I'd personally recommend SKF Bearings over any other brand. They're readily available on eBay and many other places and are still relatively inexpensive... But will last significantly longer than cheap skateboard bearings from Amazon. Heck, I replaced the armature bearings on my daily-driver...

I know some of my fellow VacuumLand.Org members collect these CMS Amway Vacuums & have read about the relative rarity of vacuums & their parts... So I thought I'd help you guys out! While browsing Facebook Marketplace, I found someone who's got a BUNCH of CMS Amway Vacuum parts & they're only...

Unfortunately, I'm not a Hoover collector myself... But when I stumbled across this vacuum, I figured one of VacuumLand's resident Hoover fanatics might be interested! I found a Turquoise Hoover Convertible Vacuum *IN IMMACULATE CONDITION* listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $40...

Yup! I subscribed myself after discovering how helpful the VacuumLand forums proved to be during my first few months working on vintage vacuums.   Here's a link to this thread reposted with the correct title information:   https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?41750  ...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a legitimate "Service Manual" published nor written to outline the proper maintenance & repair procedures for Royal Prince m501/m5000 Hand Vacuums.  -  For the last 25+ years...
