Probably in those places people have more room for crap, so they aren't as quick to throw stuff away. Anyway, it's basically a Royal. I have a model 1941 Lincoln that's the same one except for the weird Packard bag emptying system. It is strange why only Packards had that.

Suburbs lol

Husky, that's what I did lol. My guy is so nice he gives me a lot of crap for free, and I've helped him with his machinery.

While you have it, put it on a flatbed scanner and save the image. Take that, touch it up, turn it into black and white (not grayscale), and give it to a screen printer. Then you can make a new bag and have it screen printed.

lol

Beaver Valley? Sounds like my kind of place.

Idk Husky. It was just a joke. Admittedly a bad one, but ffs, this is a vacuum cleaner forum. I wish they'd stop drumming up unneeded drama whenever Les makes a bad joke. Besides, Les means well, he just sucks at typing, and conveying sarcasm through the written word.

The pic I posted is from a book that's in the public domain. @OhioVacs - Nothing to do with vacuums, I'm just a little insane in general.

The pulley on the back of the motor would've been to power any device around the home. Imagine this being the only electric motor in the whole house. This machine is on page 262 of Electric Cooking Cleaning and Heating in Service of the Home.

Or replace it preemptively.

The inside of the motor reminds me of a Cadillac. And the brush guard (missing) almost looks identical.

Ensure brushes move freely. It's still a high speed motor, it'll scream no matter what. Also, make sure the fan blades are very clean. A little dust will unbalance it, though that won't really make a screaming noise. It could still be a bearing noise. At 17k rpm, a tiny imperfection will make it...

Most agitators were meant to be removed when you were done washing, so the machine could dry out. I'll bet the grease was thick gear oil once upon a time.

Power outlets were a luxury that would not have been afforded to the 'help,' hence no outlets on the 3rd floor.

Don't cut yourself.

Can confirm the cyclone screen mesh cone clogs after a few months. The Rotator and a couple other models of Shark have the cone in a hole permanently attached to the dust bin. It's the greatest downfall of those Sharks, but not insurmountable, as all you need is a toothbrush to brush the dust...

I don't see why you can't sew on a patch. I would just say keep the stitch width 1/8" or bigger.

Somebody had a badge laying around and they needed a piece of sheet metal. Big deal. I highly doubt they destroyed a vacuum just for the badge. Maybe this came out of a vacuum repair shop?
