Greetings! I've lurked here for a long time and thought I'd post seeking some vacuum advice.
I recently acquired a Royal Powertank Model 4500. Rather dirty, but it cleaned up well (before and after pics below). However, I'm having trouble locating some parts for this machine (was it rare?)
Specifically, it is missing the cloth bag. Hesco doesn't have it available (part R-041140). It looks like the machine was run without one (paper bag only), so maybe it's not necessary aside from the gasket?
Also, in the old vacweb.com forums, it was suggested to use a Filter Queen secondary filter screen in the bottom of the bag chamber to allow air flow across the entire surface. Does anyone have a picture of one of these, so that I might construct a reasonable substitute?
Thanks.
