    Type F&G style HEPA construction

    Can anyone comment on the function of these HEPA construction F&G style bags on a Type A Royal Upright? 9 for $13 is not a bad deal. This may be simpler than converting type A vacuums to Type B so you can use Royal Type B HEPA bags. Type F&G-HEPA construction...

    Royal Type A outer bag conversion

    I know it would be easy but expensive to add a updated Type B bag to an older vacuum like my 886 but is is only available in black and would ruin the coordinated look with the blue trim it has today.

    New to me Royal 886

    The Find: 6 miles from work picked it up during lunch. I acquired a lightly used Royal 886. Needs some elbow grease to shine up the housing from 25 years of storage. Internally the wood brush-bar is still set to 1 without any discernible wear. It came with 2 of 4 original bags as well as...
