VIDEO TUTORIAL: How-To Service Royal m501/m5000 Hand Vacuums

[ubergreenguru]

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a legitimate "Service Manual" published nor written to outline the proper maintenance & repair procedures for Royal Prince m501/m5000 Hand Vacuums.  -  For the last 25+ years, the only document that even remotely resembles a Service Manual for Royal Prince Hand Vacuums has consisted of a decades-old hand-drafted schematic drawing (shown as an exploded diagram) & a corresponding list of parts.  (Any VacuumLand member who owns a Royal Prince Hand Vacuum probably knows *exactly* which document I'm referring to.)</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">The good 'ole schematic drawing can be helpful... but it leaves *a lot* to be desired. - Especially because it doesn't show *any* details about the motor or motor components, and there's zero information about proper lubrication of the two sleeve bearings.</span>


 


 


<span style="font-size: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Fast forward to the Year 2021... </span></span>


 


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">I've wanted to make an informational video on the Royal Prince Hand Vacuums for some time... But I have to thank to VacuumLand member RegularRett69 for his help in giving me a motivational push to actually get it done...</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">So last week, when I received my most recent eBay purchase in the mail - A 1995 Royal Prince 501 - I decided that this would be *the perfect opportunity* for me to finally make a video on the proper maintain/repair/service procedures for one of these vintage Royal Prince Hand Vacuums!</span>


 


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 18pt;">Without further ado...</span>


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 18pt;">I present to you the Official VacuumLand.Org Premier of:</span>

<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Video Description:</span></span>


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">"In this video, I take an in-depth look at the inner workings of a Vintage 1995 Royal Prince 501 Hand Vacuum (w/ 1.8 amp motor) & show viewers how-to properly repair & service their vacuum.  --  This includes detailed information on how-to correctly disassemble, clean, lubricate, and reassemble a Vintage Royal Hand Vacuum from start to finish."</span>


 


<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I must formally warn everyone that this video is an entire 2 Hours, 9 Minutes, 27 Seconds long from start to finish. - But it is probably *THE* most thorough & in-depth breakdown of a Royal Prince 501 Hand Vacuum anyone could possibly ask for... down to even the smallest details.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">In making this video, my goal was to try and bridge the informational gap that exists regarding Royal Prince Hand Vacuums & provide a definitive video guide to help Royal Prince owners properly maintain their vintage hand vacuums for years to come.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">I truly hope this video proves to be a valuable resource for anyone looking for information on how to correctly assemble/disassemble, maintain, repair, restore, and/or service Vintage Royal Prince m501 & m5000 Hand Vacuums!</span>


 


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; font-size: 14pt;">THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!</span>

Justin,

Here's a few older 501 parts lists I have for your reference. This time, I also included the parts list for the 1960s models.
