Thanks, the 5700 Stark/Royal I got a while back is missing the bulb and I've been thinking of finding one. I have a Ace 5 blocks from my house and a Home Depot a few miles away. The 5k led bulbs I put in all the lights here are very bright and throw a ton of light.

Model questions That vacuum was a promo from a multi level marketing scheme my mom signed up for so maybe Interstate threw a bunch of parts together they had a bunch of and painted it to match what the company ordering it wanted for a good price on a bulk small run of leftover parts. I'm...

I ordered the motor and it's already on its way so will update when it shows up and I get it installed. Hopefully it will be as good as I remember but either way it should be as good as it can be with the new motor. That guy has more than 10 available for anyone with a early Compact that might...

Well I'll check my PayPal balance and see if I have enough money to pay for that new motor the guy on eBay has listed. Like I said I remember it working really well on the carpet in the house we had built in 77, good old shag back then. Now it screeches abd rattles when you turn it on or off and...

You don't have a email listed in your profile but I do on mine if you want to talk that way.

How to message you OK, thanks for all the help and advise and it sounds like that guys new motor is the one to get. I couldn't find any bearings or tear down info in a quick search but I have that link saved and will order a new motor when ready to tear into it again. Let me know how to message...

OK, now no newer motor then. The 70 dollar one is a 2 wire that claims to be for the older style Compacts. I was looking it over and it wasn't obvious how to tear it down to rebuild it and I didn't research new bearings and brushes yet but if I can get those way cheaper that should fix it right...

So just the motor out of the 101 would be a downgrade or is it the same one in a newer body? If it's exactly the same I could just swap it in and save a few bucks, if not eventually I'll pick up one of the new ones, thanks. I think mine has a row of brushes and a beater bar set up on the...

Yeah, figure I'll put it on the list of things that can wait but I want to fix eventually and see how it does with a good motor again. I think thew newer ones have a better power head and I KNOW the later Royal power heads were way better as I also have a 413 I loved that just isn't as good as...

Well like it says we as a family got this thing brand new in the late 70's I think as a bonus for some MLM thing Mom was trying. It says Sir Anthony James on it which was what they called all the goodies they were enticing her to join with. We also got a Microwave that lasted quite a while and...

I have a Dirt Devil versa power stick vac I bought on Amazon for like 20 shipped. I wanted it for quick touch ups and it was dirt cheap. I thought it was overheating so I quit using it but I recently dug it back out and it seems to run fine. I've been using it to clean up the bird crumbs my...

That was hilarious, thanks. Probably should sub to their channel.

New Shark cordless The newish Shark cordless uses battery packs and their top version comes with two batteries and a fast charger. I think they claim 40 minute run on low speed. I'm on a Parrot forum and one of the users bought one to help clean up after her flock in their aviary and she...

As a kid we always had some kind of a Kirby, later we had a few canisters like a Compact and some others. I ended up eventually with a Royal 413 canister with a power head and loved it, it worked great on the carpet in rental and I bought it from the Kirby salesman as one of his trade ins in...

We had a Tri Star vacuum when I was a teenager. It was a non Tristar branded machine we got from a home sales we tried to do for a while but it definitely was a Tristar machine. I remember really liking it and I think it had the same power head too. Can't remember what happened to it but it was...

I just replaced the pigtail on my 4650 with a close enough one to get my 4650 running again. I love that thing, awesome suction and really brings up the nap on the carpet. I think it has a similar motor and the same power head. I also have a blue 413 power tank and just got a free 5700 upright...

Repaired it today finally Finally had a free Saturday so tore apart the power nozzle and tried the black pigtail which fit without all the extra pieces just fine. Was fun trying to remember how to get the housing off then tear down all the stuff where the wiring and height adjuster goes, plus...

Pigtails showed up Thanks, they showed up today and I think at least one will work with what I have. Let me know where to send the shipping costs.

Just ordered a belt tool for a Royal from Amazon for the Stark 5700/Royal 9700 I was given. It was like 7 bucks shipped which was cheaper than the I saw on a very quick eBay search. They are nice machines and mine seems to run great.

It's a led that lights up as long as the roll is turning and it still works. My sister was showing my mom the machine and they were checking out the bag and mom noticed the bag had fallen off the feed tube it plugs into. I guess I missed the notches or at least the bottom one and it just blew...
