I adapted my royal to use Kirby bags i felt the royal B bags i could get my hands on locally had poor filtering ability.

I put a Filterqueen (two stage) motor in my constellation which had a dying motor it seems to have about triple the airflow with the new motor in place I may also install a power nozzle port on it, and add a crushproof hose i'm still unsure of what kind of tools i will want it to use though.

And while not a permanent mod i have paired a crushproof hose with my Filterqueen triple crown. which increased it's airflow at the hose end by about 25%

I've MacGyvered a Wessel Werk EBK360 power nozzle onto my Filter Queen 95x. Seems to deliver much better agitation now, and does a better job on the rather crappy carpets in this house.

I'd sorta like to replace the hose with a larger-diameter crushproof hose, too, but mostly because the current adapter is a hack.

I modified my Eureka 1934B with the following (all reversible):

ST Bags
Vibra-Groomer I (all brush)
8-position height knob

The all brush VG I works great on my apartment's terrible glued-down carpet.

I've got a Royal 4008, that has all the features I want, but paid a good buck for it. I also have a 1030Z I acquired for free, but it's missing all the good stuff. I will be adding a lighter weight, two conductor cord, and quick release hook. They're on order. But, I was disappointed to find it will not accept a headlight hood. The housing is different.

So, today, I MacGyvered a headlight using a cheap LED flashlight. It's functional, but I'm still trying to figure out a more permanent solution...
