Here's another Hoover find! New In Box Hoover Model 1011 Accessory Kit https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hoover-Vacuum-Cleaning-Tool-Attachment-Kit-Model-1011-/224437938653?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

I just stumbled across this listing on eBay... It appears to be a fairly large lot of Hoover Convertible Parts. I don't have any Hoovers, so Hopefully this helps out one of our resident Hoover collectors...

RegularRhett69 - When I originally bought this Stark M570, I had been on the hunt for a Royal M5000 in good condition for some time... and through my research I already knew that Royal had produced a number of vacuums for Stark, so I knew I absolutely *HAD* to buy that M570 as soon as I laid...

Awesome Find! It looks to be in rough shape, but with some TLC you'll be able to get that cast aluminum shining like new again!   I definitely look forward to seeing your future posts as progress is made on the restoration of this beautiful vintage Kirby machine & cannot wait to see it once...

Vacman117 I had an Oreck U4120H2B Manufactured in 2007, which had the "Johnson" brand motor in it w/ the standard flat belt drive shaft.   I purchased a used & beat-up Oreck U2000RB-1 off of eBay, which also had a "Johnson" brand motor in it - but this one had the Grooved drive shaft for...

I'm Dumb! Well, Damn! -- I honestly don't know why I was so hesitant to take the motor out in order to get the belt on... Heck! It only requires the removal of 3 screws! I put the brush roll in; then removed the 3 screws on the fan duct + motor; lifted the motor up; slipped the Endurolife...

Thank You, Cam2s! -- I was hoping I could avoid pulling the motor out again after I got the wires neatly tucked away, but I'm definitely going to have to give this a try... because you're absolutely right - these darn Endurolife belts don't have much give in them *at all*! I guess I should've...

Google Is Your Friend! Even though I don't own a Kirby, out of curiosity I did a quick Google Search to see what I could pull up as far as Zipp Brushes. Here's what I was able to find...

Okay! So a few months ago, I bought a used Oreck U2000RB-1 to use for parts - in particular, I wanted the motor w/ the grooved drive shaft & the brush roll w/ grooved drive pulley designed to be used with the "Endurolife" Serpentine Belt. My original plan was to convert my existing Oreck...

"A Better Royal Prince Bag Gasket" So! Earlier today I received the [3/8" Wide × 1/4" Thick] version/size of this same "wear-resistant foam rubber" gasket material w/ adhesive backing from the supplier! 📦📬🤗 In my quest to find an "improved" bag gasket for Royal Prince m501/m5000 Hand Vacuums...

Centralvacs1928, Yes, I generally use Royal Type H bags inside my Royal Prince's - or at least inside the ones I actually use on a regular basis. In regards to these new bag gaskets, I do have to say that the "improved/upgraded" bag gaskets that measure 3/8" wide x 5/16" thick -- make it...

So! With 10+ Royal Prince 501's and M5000 Hand Vacuums in my collection that I've been working on restoring & refurbishing... One of my primary issues was finding replacement Bag Gaskets/Seals for them, as the bag gaskets on many of my Royal Prince's had worn out, dried out, or simply...

I'm glad they found a good home with another collector who is just as passionate about vacuums as Eric was! - A Happy Ending where Eric's vacuums will be on display for everyone to enjoy! 👏🏻

KirbyClassicIII, Please check your E-Mail - I sent you something that *may be of interest*! [Re: Royal M5000 w/o Switch Guard] 😉👍

Centralvacs1928 - I completely agree with you 100 Percent! The Royal Prince Model 5000 + Model 501 Hand Vacuums are amazingly solid and well-built machines! Plus, for the amount of power these little vacuums have, they are surprisingly & pleasantly quiet! Royal built some truly spectacular...

RegularRett69 - I remember seeing that M5000 w/ the Pro Series bag on it, too! Definitely a weird combination... But I'm assuming it didn't come that way from the factory though.

KirbyClassicIII, I will keep an eye out for one of those & let you know if I come across one. 👀👍🏻 Lesinutah, that's cool! Royal litterally made a little hand vacuum to match their uprights - I love it!

So... This was a recent eBay find of mine: A 1997 Model Year Royal Prince M5000 with a RED BAG! First off, I thought 1996 was the last production year for all variants of Royal Metal Hand Vacuums... So I was quite surprised to find a M5000 with a 1997 date code! On top of that, I had never...

In all seriousness, I'm a bit camera-shy... ...But two days ago, I put my fears aside and made my first YouTube "Vacuum Video"! This YouTube video features my Royal/Stark M570 Hand Vacuum, which I recently acquired. - The Stark M570 is essentially a Stark-Branded variant of the Royal M5000...
