As far as I know,
Royal vacuums always used a double contact bulb. Later machines switched from 120V bulbs to 12V bulbs while still retaining 2 contacts. I don't think Royal ever used a single contact bulb. Kirby switched to 12V single contact bulbs with the introduction of the Classic Omega all the way to the Legend II.
DO NOT USE AN 1156 BULB IN A ROYAL!!!!
As for the wheels, best of luck with those ones from EcoVacuum. That guy is going to make a killing on those now that the originals have been discontinued. They're nothing more than roller skate wheels.

This bulb works. Is ba15d dual polarity. I used it on 505 509 513 ds80 and before I took away 8 amp screamer and a 8 amp 16 commercial royal.
It comes in 2 or 5 packs and there quality bulbs.

The EcoVacuum guy is a putz and I won't do business with them again if I can avoid it.
That said, his wheels work fine.
I had already ordered the Satco S4719 bulb. Installed it yesterday and didn't need to add drops of solder to make it fit solidly.
I wish I could get a Cirrus motor for my Bernina 6500C and get it fixed, but I do love my Royal as a substitute.
