I am currently seeking a hood for a Hoover Model 62 or 63 and a hood for a Model 70 Convertible. I don't need the light lens for either machine.

Mark I replaced all the worn parts like brushroll, belt, cord, drive pedal, etc. and buffed all the castings to a mirror finish. I also wash the emptor and bag connector in the sink with a brush and dish soap to make them like new again.

I was selling rebuilt Sentria I's and II's on Offerup with attachments and shampooer for $250 a piece. It's easier to sell them when you work at a vacuum shop IMO. The best candidates were people with old Kirby's that weren't worth fixing and they loved the price considering it was 4 times less...

Where this unit was stored will dictate the condition of the cord. Personally, I've replaced all the cords on my coffee can Hoovers. I would also check under the switch to make sure the insulation on the wiring isn't brittle. If that's the case, you can cheat and put 2 layers of heat shrink over...

Finally have an update on this oddity. 2 months ago, I placed an order for 3 metal Junior fans on eBay and the seller shipped ones for to fit a Model 63. Turns out they never had the right ones even though there was a picture of them at some point. I recently went to the Henry Company in...

I have an Ultimate G and Sentria 2 that are fully polished and ready for sale. They have new cords and brushrolls installed among other parts. Shipping from Illinois to Kentucky might not be cheap, but if you were looking for something professionally serviced, that might be an option.

I have the 2 rear wheels but not the front one. I'll check and see tomorrow there's one lurking around.

My advice would be to take it to your local Miele dealer and ask them. I worked on those uprights for 7 years and they are not worth taking apart if you don't know what you're doing. Factor the part at around $50 plus labor when a new upright of this caliper cost at least $700-1000. Miele also...

I have some. Send me an email and we'll go from there.

Vacuumdirect (known as Huron Vacuum) closed during the pandemic. Even though the website is still active for some reason, you can't place any orders. I've had customers try to compare prices with them when their site was out of date.

If you were to replace just the armature, you would need to find one with the number, 10530 or 11320 (according to the service manual). If you buy an armature without one of those numbers, it could potentially be the wrong diameter and not fit inside your field. If you decide to replace both...

Correction: MM bags will NOT fit in this machine. I meant to write that originally. Sorry for the confusion. The collar on the MM is way too big. N bags were for the Mighty Mite II, C bags were for the original Mighty Mite, and the MM bags fit the current units that are still being made. To...

Les. N bags will NOT fit in the pictured Mighty Mite. Please stop giving incorrect information. Jake: As far as I know, N bags are still in production. Your local vacuum store can order them for you or you can purchase them online.

I don't have bags, but I have wheels if you ever needed some.

As far as I know, Royal vacuums always used a double contact bulb. Later machines switched from 120V bulbs to 12V bulbs while still retaining 2 contacts. I don't think Royal ever used a single contact bulb. Kirby switched to 12V single contact bulbs with the introduction of the Classic Omega...

Les The Cirrus vacuums are made in the same Taiwanese factory as Air-Way. They're also made for Greatvacs' Pro-Lux, Koblenz, and many more.

All of these have the dual motor brushroll. I always see one motor burned out and the brushroll vibrates like crazy.

It appears a good design was ruined by low quality plastics. That's probably why they never survived. The top cover is so flimsy, I feel like it would shatter just by looking at it. It's like comparing the Regina Housekeeper to the Electrolux uprights of the day. The switch broke, so I replaced...

I have just come into one of these from a vac shop basement and it is missing the fan. Would a genuine Hoover Junior fan work in one of these. I don't want to buy one and find out it doesn't fit.

Kirbylux77 I'm curious to know how sales were after selling the vacuums through HSN and Costco. I've also said the same thing about Kirby bringing Royal back from the dead too. That might give them a better opportunity to re-enter the commercial division. There was also a program rumored to...
