Hey

There isn't a set of manuals for royals. There is 2 or 3 people on a vacuum collectors here that know it.
Pics would be needed please. Please don't assume we know the part. If you show us you probably will get an answer.

I have one I have a few. I'd be happy to sell you one. If you also check your local thrift store sooner rather than later you would probably find one. The shipping cost and the park cost without way the value of the vacuum which is approximately 10 to $15. I was told from my local vacuum shop and from start vacuums in Spokane Washington that one royals went to China on a 2001 I believe that was the time that they were told to destroy all their old service manuals That's why you're not going to find any or many.

Hey

I'll get a picture of it tommorow. Been winterizing yard and house last couple days. Just got back from school.
I know I have the part I know I have in mint condition. If it's not mint I'll polish making it mint but i remember i used a 501 with blue bag and cord as a parts machine. I only took power switch and sold the bag to a kid. I have about 10-15 royal is have the part I know where it's at.
I could mail anytime but my gut instinct is wait until Wednesday next week. Black Friday, cyber Monday busiest week of mail of the year.
I'm afraid it would get lost . Email me at [email protected].
Long day
Les

Email me at [email protected] get everything wrapped up. Pic should be up by noon tomorrow mountain standard time. With your zip I'm guessing Friday you'd reviews it.

I am sorry to say that the piece shown in your photo is not the same as the one I posted. Mine has no screw holes and snaps on the housing. It measures 6 5/8 " x 1 15/16 ". Can you check out your stock and see if what I need turns up ?

Hey

I have the correct head. I was. Moving everything to my shed. I have a big tote of royal handvacs.
Keep in mind your picture is generic photo. The one I know will fit I'll try to get pic of it on a 501 prince.
That way the vacuum exactly like yours head may be slightly different or it was just in box and is for a vacuette I parted out
Les

 

[lesinutah]

Check

Your nozzle if it has screw holes. I thought plastic royal handvacs got plate like yours.

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

No, the 501 rug plate never had screw holes.

Thank you Ben.
