There are quite a few on Craig's List here as I have a saved search for them in case I find another later model power tank. There have been a few really nice looking Royals and Starks uprights, some dirt cheap, was very tempting but already have two power tanks. Everybody wants light bagless...

does look like a royal That really does look like a Royal minus the plastic tool holder most of them have. I have a couple of their vacuums and really like how well they clean. If these are close to the same power and quality and made in the USA that is a great machine and maybe the price is...

I bought my Stark/Royal 4650 on Craig's list last summer for 25 bucks. Motor and powerhead were fine, powered hose had issues but worked if you put the main switch in blower mode which bypasses the variable speed stuff. They show up from time to time and usually aren't terribly expensive either...

Bought a small cordless shop vac vacuum because supposedly it had great suction and could run 10 to 15 minutes. Turned out it was 18 volt and only had full power for maybe 5 minutes then ramped down quickly. Battery started loosing charge quicker and quicker and quicker and now it has several...

I have a alert set on Craig's List for my favorite Royal cannisters and that's how I found my 4650 with a bad wire in the hose for 25 bucks. Nicer vacuum then my old 413 canister. I spent more buying a older working hose from eBay to get everything working like it is supposed to even though I...

did something similar to a trailer. We put a blue rubber 6 inch wheel from Harbor Freight on the trailer jack/wheel on the scaffolding trailer at work. Made it way easier to roll across concrete or asphalt when fully loaded then with the old very hard plastic wheel they always come with. I...

we had a odd rebadge of one similar We as a family tried a Anthony James multi level home product sales thing in the late seventies, early eighties. One thing we were given as part of the sign up was a Compact vacuum the same color and idea as the picture. It was if course labeled as a Anthony...

Well, unless it's something special that is always expensive and hard to find nobody is going to pay good money for a used vacuum. In 90 I bought my first Royal 413 canister with everything from a Kirky salesman for 200 bucks becuase my old one was beyond fixing and this one was basicaly new...

Figures Thanks for that info Rob, I kept looking at the ends and nothing looked like a way to disassemble it and couldn't find any guides but the way they are built that makes sense. Maybe when I feel like it now that I know the secret I'll tear apart the 413 hose and see how it goes, if that...

Question about removing hose ends Like it says, nice job on adapting it to what you need. But how in the heck do you take the end attachments off that Royal hose when you need to repair or replace the hose. I have a 4650 I got cheap because the off/on variable speed was not working due to the...

I have a couple of the older Royal canister vacs Like said I have the older 413 power tank a Kirby guy sold me almost new back about 90, and a newer Starks/Royal 4650 with the nice Panasonic power head I found on Craigs list for 25 bucks. As a family we had a few Kirbys and they were fine but...

Yep, doubt he went far or stayed with it long. Other guy I think I tried to steer people his way. I had just moved into my rental a couple of years before and we were still finding stuff for it. Second guy I was still there becuase rent HAD been way cheaper then buying a house about 2009. Had...

Went completely through the sales pitch a few times, first time my garage sale Kenmore canister with a nice power head was on its last legs, second time I was off work on workman's comp with a broken arm and flat broke. First time the salesman called back with a almost brand new Royal canister...

had one as a kid We had a Anthony James vacuum, that has it turned out was a Tri Star, I remember it being a funky looking thing but it had great suction and power head. Kinda wish we still had it but we gave it away to a family friend after we got a Kirby I think and she moved to a new place...

they made Mopar cars there They made tweaked versions of Mopar cars there for their own markets. They had a version of the Dart that looks similar but different at the same time, plus it was based on the late sixties one like the 69 I own and it was built in the late 70's, so why not make...

Well I've posted here a few times about my Royal 4650 and my earlier 413 powertank. The older one has a bad hose but not a huge deal now that I have the 4650 working properly with a blue 4600 hose I found on eBay reasonably cheap right after I got it and posted about it and repairing the hose...

Had one of those I had one as my first Vacuum on my own in my rental house. Mine still worked but becuase it was a cheap wore out garage sale find it had cracks and leaks all over the case. It did seem it had good suction and the power head was pretty good but of course it blew dust everywhere...

Well it would be cool if they actually work considering the problems trying to find new or good used ones these days. Just noticed the little devider plastic prongs under the power hear cover where the brush sticks through are gone or cracked. I never noticed it before seeing how everything...

4600 hose arrived Well the blue 4600 hose arrived today a few days earlier then claimed and it plugged right in and now everything works properly as far as I can tell. One setting is just the cannister and the other is the cannister and the powerhead with variable motor/suction level for the...

Thanks, like I said we got it in about 90 and were told it was maybe two years old so it was low miles and really nice. Of course they were still making them then and parts were readily available, and we liked it so I kept fixing it as things broke. I think we got one matching blue hose, then a...
