Anybody have a royal 9100 for sale?

[nubz3760]

ok let me know. The serial number would be nice. also check the bag for imperfections ; I can polish metal, but I'm no good with fabric. Let me know how the brush roll is too. Oh, and the cord haha Thanks again!

the 9100 has the rite-hite screw, the 9700 was the toe adjustment

Then its a 9700. Darn. Well I'll check starks on sunday

 

[nubz3760]

I wonder if you could change the toe adjustment to a rite hite screw? I see the hole for the rite height screw is there, but i dont know if everything else will work

Actually mine is a Model 4000 (shown below)

The previous pic i found with Goggle while trying to find out what Royal you were talking about.

the 9100 looks like that except the bag says preffered instead of classic, the motor is 7 amps, and it has the rite hite screw adjustment instead of the au-toe-matic adjustment

Close up detail...

Brush roll indicator light i presume...don't know cause i have yet to actually use this vacuum, already have another Royal metal in use so other finds have taken precedence over this one.

 

[stricklybojack]

Au-toe is it?

Does the 9100 have hub caps too?

 

[nubz3760]

indeed it does. does yours have a 6 amp motor?

 

[stricklybojack]

the model 4000...

has a 10.5 amp motor.

 

[nubz3760]

a 10.5 amp! holy cow, does it sound like a jet? The 9100 has a 7 amp motor, which is quieter, more reliable, and cleans just as good

 

[stricklybojack]

"cleans just as good"

i use Hepa bags, it would seem the added oomph of the higher amp motor comes in handy with the Hepas. The lower amp motors could breath easy through the shake out bags they were designed for...i do not like the high sound level however.

 

[nubz3760]

the 10 amp royal with shakeout bag I purchased on ebay should really be a beast then

Swapping Royal Motors

Good Day,

Would any of you folks happen to know if these motors are interchangeable? Perhaps a list of specs for the various motors? Could a 6 or 7 amp fit in a 10 amp housing? Just wondering what makes the higher amp units so much louder? Is it higher RPMs? I don't know what else it could be, if they all use the same fans.

Also, kind of wondering if the 10 amp units could be altered to slow them down, or adjust whatever causes the extra noise. Is there an internal vent fan that could be the culprit?

Well, any help is appreciated.

John,

The answer is no... The 7 amp and smaller motors (for the pre-1995 units) are of the "non drop in" type whereupon the drop-in types mentioned are 7.5 amps or larger.

Yes, the RPM ranges vary... most high on the 10 amp units. The impeller fans are the same, however, for older units the shaft diameter holes are different.

That's great info Ben, thanks!

I've been looking into AC Motor Speed Controllers. It would be sweet to have a variable speed trigger on the 10 amp machine. I was looking at part numbers for Milwaukee 15 amp reciprocating saws. Full price would be $12.00 for the switch, and $30.00 for the controller. Then, a little fabricating and wiring... quite an endeavor, eh? I'll show you the prototype when it's done. Don't hold your breath...
