Royal model 606

[karl]

I also need a new belt, the paper work that came with the vacuum says part # 43260 A. I have a Royal belt part # 672260 001 that I got for my other Royal vacuum, will that one be ok?

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

Great, thank you for the part numbers. Where do you suggest I get the parts from?

 

[karl]

See how the screw driver slot is broken?

 

[karl]

By the way. I love this vacuum, works great, very light and does a great job.

Karl,

Glad to hear you really like your 606!

Vac Parts Plus is one place to try for such obsolete parts:

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:

Is it ok if I use the belt that I asked about? I have it on now and seems fine.

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:

Did some polishing today.

Karl,

Looks pretty good so far!

[karl]

The picture doesn't look very good

 

[karl]

Is there something I can do about the scratches? Sandpaper? 1,000 grit?

 

[lesinutah]

Hey

Start at 200 grit work up 400 800 up to 2000 wet sand. You have to work up on the grit go over evenly to get out scratch wet sand on 2000 is to get mirror finish.

And then polish again afterwards.
