Royal Everlast Disposable Bags

[vacuumalex]

Hey there,
I have a Royal Everlast and it uses a top load disposable bag made by Royal and it connects to a plastic dirt tube. My aunt has an older Royal and she doesn't have a plastic dirt tube. She uses a Eureka/Sanitaire F&G Style disposable bag that has a paper tube and it connects to the base with a metal ring. This made me curious, did older Royals have a paper bag originally, and if so was it like the Eureka/Sanitaire F&G style bag or was it just someone's idea to use the Eureka/Sanitaire F&G Style bag? Also would the same be true for a Kirby vacuum too?

I am not sure of the Royals, but the older Kirbys were shake out bags, but there was a conversion, which wasnt great, and it took a Eureks F&G bag.

Royals have used the "Style A" bag which is really nothing more than an F&G bag for years. I'm not sure when they started doing that, but I have a fairly old 3 amp Royal from either the late 60s or early 70's that has a "Style A" bag setup. My 1992 Royal has the "Style B" bag that's not really anything more than an overgrown Hoover Type A bag.

Yes, the first Royal disposable paper bags were a Gray filter paper and had a neck like the F&G bags. Plus a lot of Hoover
rebuilt machines in the 50 and 60's used the Norca gray paper
bags. Which had a paper throat on it like a Eureka F & G. AS they would put zipper bags on 28's 29's and sometimes the older machines if the customer wanted them.

Yes

I once compared a Royal style A in my 880 and then compared the performance to an F and G and everything was the same. Now I just put F and G bads in it, since they are less expensive and are more common. The only difference I can think of would be the filtering media, but I'm not quite sure.
