G3 cord Hi Ben I can drop off cord or if you would like to check out my collection you can come over and pick it up. $2.00 would cover what I paid for it. Anytime this week end is fine as long as I know when. Mike

Ben Didn't you recently have a D50 too? Mike

Ben, I still live in the same house, we did not move. We just had a yard sale 2 years ago. We probably will have another one in July. I don't have a G3 cord, but I will watch for one at the Goodwill outlet store. Mike

Royal tank vacuums use type J bags along with a foam filter disc. They are pretty common and are easy to find in vacuum stores as well as ebay. These are great vacuum cleaners! Mike

Thank you Jeff! You may have noticed that I borrowed your idea of using the garage door as a background for my Royals. Muke

Once again I found an excellent vintage vacuum at my local Goodwill Outlet store. This time it was a Compact C9 in gold, to add to my every growing Compact/Tristar collection (C2, C5, C7, CXL, MG1). It is in amazing condition for a 35 year old example with very few paint chips. The badge is...

Stark's Vacuums in Portland has had a museum that some of you have seen. It occupied a small wing of their original store for a long time. They have been remodeling the store and have reduced the museum to a wall display, but it is nicely done with a time line and related photos.

Last week I found a beautiful Royal 9700 at my local Goodwill outlet store where I have found most of collection. After cleaning off the aluminum "liver spots" with Barkeepers Friend followed by hand polishing with Mothers, it looks great with only a couple of minor scratches (to be removed...

My parents first vacuum was a new Electrolux Model E purchased from a friend of my Dad. At the same time my grandmother has a brown Kenmore Commander pull around tank from the late forties, that was shaped like a torpedo and sounded like a jet engine winding up when it was turned on. Today I...

Since I learned that my Filter Queen 31 PN is a 1974 early and unusual configuration, I thought I would post some pictures of the hard wired cord from the PN, clipped to the wands, and the connection to the hose. Also today I replaced the ugly duct tape with Gorilla clear repair tape until I...

Thanks for the information. It's nice to find out that I have something unusual. Maybe I will find a matching hard floor tool some day. I'm currently looking for an original electric hose. I wonder if the 31 and LE used the same motor? The 31 seems at least if not more powerful. The 31 is...
