Hey
I really like the bag. Does it have a headlight? Nice vacuum. I might be so inclined tomorrow day 2 off I'll do my sanitairre and eureka and ready for sale I may get 2 old royals done. I have been waiting for my c8 bumper to come but it's still not here.

Karl,
What is the serial number on this machine, please?
If it is a 1970 or older machine, the nameplate will be found riveted on the bottom of the motor housing.
But if it is 1971 or newer (which I assume is most likely), then the nameplate will be in the form of a decal affixed to the back of the nozzle casting.
Example of serial number: 37J-A-79185. The first digit in the date code is the year of the decade (3 being 1973), the second is the decade (1970s), and the third (the letter) is the month (September),

Karl,
Your 606 was built in September 1971... so the cord would have not have had the third (grounding) prong yet.

Started taking the 606 apart today, washed out the bag, very dirty. The brushes need to be replaced soon, I could only get one of the caps off for the brushes, the plastic cap is falling apart. I need new plastic caps for the brushes and new brushes. Also, I put oil in the bearing ports.

Karl,
You will have to search around for some of these obsolete parts for your machine, but they are:
1-672021-000 = carbon brush assembly
1-672103-000 = brush holder screw assembly
1-801014-000 = set screw, brush holder
1-801019-000 = brush holder
1-801034-000 = brush holder protector cap
3-672105-000 = complete carbon brush assembly with above parts

Glad to hear you really like your 606!

The rest, you will need to obtain from donor Royals 1994 and older.
And here's a link to the original belt (1-043260-001) as intended for use with your machine:

Karl,
No... I've read that it would eat into the sleeve bearings of the older-style brush rolls.
Here's a post of a Royal 903 that had a bad brush roll due to the incorrect belt:
