    Picked up a Whispertone Canister for $10

    Checked out the thrift stores today and found this. Its a Kenmore Whispertone Canister, 4.8 amps. I came with the power nozzle and all the attachments. I'm not much of a canister guy but its so quiet I had to have it, especially with the p/n. There was a 80's eureka canister at another thrift...

    Just bought a Royal 880

    I wasnt suggesting I am trying to run a belt other than stock, I was wondering if you knew what the differences between the two belts was? I stongly believe the vac shop sold me the belt for ball bearing brushrolls. This would work out good because my new bb brushroll is coming soon, so I'll use...

    My Two Stark Deluxes

    I vacummed with my kirby sentria christmas eve and I now see what people mean when they say wide wheels dont track straight. On the back stroke I noticed it kept wandering off to the side and my light bulb went on in my head;. I think the reason I think my 880 is easier to maneuver than my 801...

    Ben, I got a question for you. The belt for for sleeze bearing brushrolls is different that ball bearing brushrolls right? I want to know what is the difference?

    Just bought a Royal 880

    WOW! I just vacuumed the house with my new stark 880 and all I can say is wow! What a difference that extra 1.5 amps makes! You can hear the rush of air coming from the nozzle; and unlike my 801, the 880 sucks the adjust o rite button in with ease. Its also MUCH easier to push, due to the extra...

    Do you think they could do the work too? haha I dont think im qualified for bearings as skilled as I am. I really want to avoid swapping the motor even though it would be way cheaper/easier

    Just bought a Royal 880

    why are ball bearings not to be used on motors less than 5.4 amps? Also, since you are so knowledgeable in royals, would you be able to help me finding bearings for my 801? I believe they are getting worn out. lately I can hear sort of a ringing sound from the motor. its very faint, but I know...

    Just bought a Royal 880

    I dont have any videos..yet. its too late to run it without waking everyone up. It runs good though but needs a brushroll. the bristles are nice and long but the bearing cap at one end is slightly crooked so it gets hot. I was also right about it missing the deodorizer cover, but thats not a...
