I recently took in a Royal 7600 Duke that was thrown in our dumpster at work.Naturally,I rescued it and brought it home.It powers up and has great vacuum pressure.The only thing missing is the Adjust-o-matic on the front.The builder's label has serial number A90A001149 and is a 6 amp.Based on this information,does my Royal take type A or B bags,and did it have the Adjust-o-matic knob or plain plastic cover? Any help is greatly appreciated !

Forrest,
Welcome to VacuumLand! Yes, your Duke was made in January of 1990. If it takes disposable bags, they would be the type A disposables given the age of the cleaner. Your other question concerns if the machine used an Adjust-O-Rite. Yes, it did have one. ~Ben | ||

Again, I'm going to demonstrate my lack of understanding. Could someone please show how the "dial thingy" works on the front of Royals? I get that there is the black knob in the back for the height adj. but what does the thing in front do and how does it do it? | ||

I also forgot to tell you when you turn the machine on, look at the dial & if the black thing is in turn the knob in the back till you start seeing it start to pop out then stop. I usually have mine set in the middle but to each his own. It's harder if you have the step selector rather then the adjuster knob.

Thanks Jeff, that helped alot. But HOW does it do it? Is there a senseing arm on the nozzle? If so does the nozzle "float" until locked by the pin thingy? | ||

Just received my Adjust-O-Right knob today[It's on the Duke already :)],and I ordered the round spring for the type A bag securement.Found both of these parts at www.vacuum-depot.com.... They have quite a few parts for these oldsters :) !

Jade read my mind
I was wondering if I could convert the fill tube to a Kirby style;that way,I wouldn't need two types of bags between my machines :) ! www.vacuum-depot.com... has a couple of different options on fill tubes,and both are around $65 each .
