I am finally out of school for Christmas break and so I have been hoping to knock out a few vacuum repairs that I have been putting off for a long time. Below I have made a list of the parts I need and let me know if you have any of them as I would be willing to buy them for a good price. Royal...

I was scrolling through eBay one day and found a Premier model 37. This vacuum isn't in the best shape and will need things like a new cord, a good cleaning and polishing, a belt, etc. I was wondering if this vacuum is worth the price or worth buying at all...

I decided that I am going to restore my Packard model 1941 myself and I need a diagram of the motor. I also need a little advice on oiling brass-sleeve bearings and cleaning armatures. I am not a new member, I just had to create a new account because I lost the credentials to my old one.
