I found this Royal model 189 at a thrift store yesterday. It was $14 and i could not pass it up. The problem is that the motor runs quite bad. It is in need of new carbon brushes and I can't seem to find anyone that still sells parts for this vacuum. If anyone knows where i could find some that would be great. Also does anyone know the age of this machine? Thanks!

I'm guessing neither the bag nor the Adjust-O-Rite plug are original. Most likely it would have had the "lady bug" color scheme of red and black.
If you want to make this 189 a competitor to what Royal offered in the 1980s, take the original motor assembly out and install a 4.5 or 5.4 amp motor in it. For the record, here is a picture of @hygiene903's 153 and 189 (189 is the one on the right). ~Ben
