Royal find was just in time I ordered 9 Envirocare Micro Lined Vacuum F&G Eureka bags for the Royal 886 and for $1 more included a SD belt for the eureka 7575B ESP. I was impressed with the Vibra 2 beater bar driven by a new belt. Halfway through the room the magic smoke came out of the motor...

The Find: 6 miles from work picked it up during lunch. I acquired a lightly used Royal 886. Needs some elbow grease to shine up the housing from 25 years of storage. Internally the wood brush-bar is still set to 1 without any discernible wear. It came with 2 of 4 original bags as well as...
