Thanks for all the info and pics. It makes sense they may have swapped out the bag considering they were cleaning a large building and probably used what they had on hand or they could easily get to keep it going. My car has all kinds of parts from newer and older versions that would fit or were...

OK, a couple more shots, one of the data tag, other the brush roll. It does have 91 stamped on the power head case too so I figured it's a 91 and I think the newest service sticker is from 05. If you can't see it well enough I can post the numbers.

Yeah I don't get that lucky often but it's great when it happens. I did finally find the factory build sticker and of course it agrees with everything Ben says. Nice to get lucky and get their older top of the line machine and bags are even cheaper than the 4650 canister bags are. Also it's a...

Hey, thanks for the info, I'll poke around google and learn more. I've been kinda wanting a upright to complete my collection plus my 4650 I finally broke the little pigtail that goes from the wand into the power head so I've been working on my older 4.3 413 power tank to try and do my heavy...

Well I have many automatic searched set fir things I need or want on Craigslist and eBay. Last night I saw one that basically said Royal commercial vacuum with extra bags and belts and a old CRT HDTV. So I emailed the poster asking how much he wanted for the machine seeing how no price was...

I wrap the cord around the bell on the back of my Royal 4650 and it appears that is how it was supposed to be done. At work if I'm not in a hurry I do a parachute loop/wrap that if you do it properly you just grab the other end from the start of the wrap and it will pull out nicely plus if you...

Sent you a quick message just now.

Well, checked in today and no mail yet but it might have gotten thrown in my spam. I broke out the blue 4.3 power team and it works fine except the hose is full of holes so I vacuumed the main living areas with it. A much simpler power head and cord setup for it but it just doesn't groom the...

More pictures Those are all good suggestions and here some more pictures to help make it easier to see if any of those cords will work. The pics are hard to make out to see what shape they are but one of them would probably work if I just used the plug and not the little housing it snaps into...

Thanks, I'll hold off on hacking in a different cord then and wait to see what you come up with. I usually use IrfanView and resize all my pics to 800x600 and they upload fine here directly from my computer. Hopefully we can work something out and I don't care what color the cord is as long as...

No, haven't been looking real hard yet, thinking about seeing if the 413 powertank still works and wondering who else might have used that plug setup. If you have one or can point me where I can get one let me know so contact me. I was thinking about just redoing it with some round droplight...

Thanks, but that's just two regular ac male power plugs so won't do me any good. Now if I can find a official Royal round 2 pronged male plug with the proper spacing I could just swap the plug and it would work like before.

Yeah, I think I could use some drop light cord and make something that would work. Not sure if I have any in stock anymore but I'm sure I could dig some up. I could use the stuff from the other one but that would disable it so not going to do it. Haven't used the 413 since I found the 4650 which...

Well my Starks/Royal 4650 finally destroyed the pigtail that goes into the swivel head thing on the base of the power head. I could probably jury rig something that would work but if anyone has a good one or knows where to get one I'd appreciate it. The old ones done right where the cord...

It has a 5 year warranty so as long as they actually stand behind it use it. If they fix or send you a new one and your still disgusted with it sell it off and get something else, good luck.

Royals with a good power head work great and can be found cheap occasionally. I bought a 4650 for 25 bucks with a power cord issue in the hose. It worked fine in blower mode as that bypassed all the variable speed things. I found another good used hose on eBay. I also have a 413 powertank. I...

Yep, when I was trying to sell our old 71 Scamp to pay the taxes owed for buying this house one of the respondents was a scammer using that same sales pitch. He was out of country on business, would send a larger check to cover the car and shipping etc, his syntax was bad and he acted like we...

Do the same thing with other hobbies I used to hit wrecking yards and swap meets and buy any parts that would fit my Dart or any other Mopar that might be a good upgrade or trade material. I also did the same with TV parts when I used to repair used sets to make extra money. I had parts to...

Price seems fair by today's standards and the few reviews seem positive. I think many of us don't like plastic vacuums but it looks solid enough and if you have the money to take a chance on a possibly good vac go for it.

My Royal/Starks 4650 will pull up the carpet and agitates pretty darned good. I see crumbs and things bouncing around as they get close to the power head. Obviously the weight advantage for an old school upright is a huge advantage. We had Kirbys a few times as a kid and I remember them being...
