Looking for an adjust rite nozzle cover for a 1989 Royal 866 in lite blue. Let me know what you have. Cheers.

Ah! the satisfaction of restoring a hidden gem! You are doing a great job of restoring this old vacuum, can’t wait to see it all finished!

Great job gsheen It looks great considering the shape it was in to begin with. It always interests me when I see a fellow restorer taking the vacuum down to its bare components and taking the time to do it right the first time and showing the process ,it’s a great learning process for the new...

Hey Dave I’m glad you are going to try the electrolysis , I have tried several different types of rust removers over the years and found they are slow and messy and cost$$, I have not tried evaporust so I can’t speak on that. Once I tried electrolysis I was amazed how fast it worked with little...

A great way to clean up those shafts is rust electrolysis , I use this method on all my parts that are rusted. If you look it up on YouTube it will show you how to do this, it is a very simple method with great results and does not harm the metal. I have made a small electrolysis bath with stuff...

Late 40’s

Nice fedelco what year is it? The oldest I have so far is a model 30 Graybar hand held.

I would wait for more reply’s in case there might be a different configuration , what model and year of Royal do you have?

Does one of the wires coming out of the motor have green paint on it? If so that should be grounded to the body of the motor casing, black wires are your common and white wires are neutral

It’s always a good thing to oil it up, I’m sure the motor has not been oiled in years , don’t want to run it dry it will only wear the motor faster , the motor will love you for it, good to hear it’s in good shape. Yes nice to meet a fellow Canadian collector, I live just outside of Calgary.

It’s a nice machine, make sure to oil the bearing before running it, can’t wait to see it all cleaned up!

Nice score you got it 1 day before I seen it…lol I do believe that this is a model 28 , I think it’s a 1946 but could be wrong. Are you going to restore it?

Thanks Watsonw, this vacuum is made in Canada , many hours of polishing to get it this point. Can’t wait for my other parts to finish this great little vacuum.

The new bag finishes it off and looks great! Now you can retire the pillow case and hose clamp…lol

Just got my belt and a new light bulb, time to fire it up with its accessories . Running like new ,has great suction at the hose nozzle with attachments and the light shining the way, now just waiting on new brushes and a new power cord, and restoration of the roller brush then this vacuum will...

Thanks for the year range dysonman1 this will help me out finding the proper bag for it , if not I will have to make one. Thanks bikerray I did see the brochure’s , but I found that all pics of the hand vacs looked the same that why I was having a problem figuring out the year, but will be...

That’s a good idea , better seal from leaks and easy removal, what did you have for an adapter before this one?

Good job getting the switch in, nice looking vacuum! How’s the machine liking the new bag?

Nice Royal , with a new cord it’s ready for service for many years to come! Good job getting that wired in.

Hey dysonman1 do you have any little wonder whisk brushes? I’m trying to restore this vacuum but can’t figure out how to get to the rear bearing, there is an oiling cover over it that I can’t seem to remove to get to the bearings, any ideas?
