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?

No problem, I found that toggle on eBay, I understand about not coming apart anytime soon, they can be frustrating doing electrical on these little motors. Good luck on your switch fix.

Here’s another option, this one has side terminals and not as deep as most toggles ( body wise )

This push button might work for you to?

Have you thought of alternative switch’s that you could use? On my Hamilton beach hand vac the switch was super loose and was a major pain to get it in its right position and hold it in place while I tightened it down , so totally understand the problems you are having with space, it is a very...

Could you post more pics of the rear area of the motor , like to see the configuration on how it’s assembled. Are you able to remove the fan?
