$$$

How much do you guys think I'm looking at costwise for a 9100 in reasonably good condition?

Used royal prices

I see used royals all the time from $20.00 on up,If you see one consider what service it may need most need belts ,brush rolls,carbon brushes,cords.So if you find one for $20.00 plan on spending at least $40.00 more for parts.Also consider the cost of shipping,to ship a Royal cross country it runs about $25.00.You can see where I am going "you get what you pay for".If you want to find a good deal you will need to be patiant and shop around.

I'm just more concerned about some of the outrageous prices I see on ebay. I really am not looking to spend hundreds of dollars

Compleatly rebuilt is 200 and not restored is free. But not restored means, holes in the bag, no cord, needs a new brush, dirty, most likely bad motor and bad fan.

Im just looking for one with a good cloth bag, cord, and motor. if it needs a brush or belt that's not really a big deal, but holes in the bag or a burned out motor would be a deal breaker

Robert, that looks like the one! could you check the model number for me and give me a price if you're looking to sell it?

Thanks, Nick

Robert,

Trivia: the very first 9100s from 1990 had the same mauve bag as the 8000 and 9000.

Ben, I just won the Royal commercial 1030 on ebay. Its not in the greatest shape but its relatively new and I wanted a 10 amp with shakeout just because I wanted to feel the rediculously LOUD power haha
The bag has 3 tiny (moth) holes in a cluster so I'm just gonna put a patch on the inside. The seller was great at communication and actually talked to me on the phone. 2 days into the bid, he emailed me saying he noticed a couple holes and attached a photo. He offered to work with me on the price or cancel my bid, so I got a better deal than what the site shows.

I still am moderately interested in buying a 9100 Preferred Collection, especially if the price is right. If anybody knows of one for sale let me know

New ish. Its been seller restored. But I just found a dirty one for 65 and one missing the royal belt cover thing for 50

Post# 221397 , Reply# 21   3/2/2013 at 01:49 (4,067 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

Where do you find these? define dirty on the $65 one, is the bag/cord damaged or does it just need a good polish?

Oh never mind. I was searching for the starks ones. I haven't found any preferred collection ones. But I will continue looking

The dirty one looks to be in good condition just dirty. But it is a starks one.

Evan, you should email me pics of the $65 Stark tomorrow. I'm very interested to say the least. What would you charge to ship it?

Post# 221404 , Reply# 27   3/2/2013 at 01:58 (4,067 days old) by kirbykid (Horseheads,New York 14845)        

I think it will be at least 30 bucks to ship and Iwill clean it up a bit

Did the 9100 have the tow touch height adjustment? Or was that the 9700? I have little info on the 65 dollar one so Iam trying to figure out if it is infact the 9100

Post# 221406 , Reply# 29   3/2/2013 at 02:03 (4,067 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

ok let me know. The serial number would be nice. also check the bag for imperfections ; I can polish metal, but I'm no good with fabric. Let me know how the brush roll is too. Oh, and the cord haha Thanks again!

Post# 221407 , Reply# 30   3/2/2013 at 02:03 (4,067 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

the 9100 has the rite-hite screw, the 9700 was the toe adjustment

Then its a 9700. Darn. Well I'll check starks on sunday

Post# 221411 , Reply# 33   3/2/2013 at 02:17 (4,067 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

I wonder if you could change the toe adjustment to a rite hite screw? I see the hole for the rite height screw is there, but i dont know if everything else will work

The previous pic i found with Goggle while trying to find out what Royal you were talking about.

the 9100 looks like that except the bag says preffered instead of classic, the motor is 7 amps, and it has the rite hite screw adjustment instead of the au-toe-matic adjustment

Brush roll indicator light i presume...don't know cause i have yet to actually use this vacuum, already have another Royal metal in use so other finds have taken precedence over this one.

Au-toe is it?

Does the 9100 have hub caps too?

Post# 221533 , Reply# 38   3/2/2013 at 17:17 (4,066 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

indeed it does. does yours have a 6 amp motor?

the model 4000...

has a 10.5 amp motor.

a 10.5 amp! holy cow, does it sound like a jet? The 9100 has a 7 amp motor, which is quieter, more reliable, and cleans just as good

"cleans just as good"

stricklybojack's profile picture
i use Hepa bags, it would seem the added oomph of the higher amp motor comes in handy with the Hepas. The lower amp motors could breath easy through the shake out bags they were designed for...i do not like the high sound level however.

Post# 221543 , Reply# 42   3/2/2013 at 18:30 (4,066 days old) by nubz3760 ()        

the 10 amp royal with shakeout bag I purchased on ebay should really be a beast then

Swapping Royal Motors

ornery's profile picture
Good Day,

Would any of you folks happen to know if these motors are interchangeable? Perhaps a list of specs for the various motors? Could a 6 or 7 amp fit in a 10 amp housing? Just wondering what makes the higher amp units so much louder? Is it higher RPMs? I don't know what else it could be, if they all use the same fans.

Also, kind of wondering if the 10 amp units could be altered to slow them down, or adjust whatever causes the extra noise. Is there an internal vent fan that could be the culprit?

Well, any help is appreciated.

John

John,

The answer is no... The 7 amp and smaller motors (for the pre-1995 units) are of the "non drop in" type whereupon the drop-in types mentioned are 7.5 amps or larger.

Yes, the RPM ranges vary... most high on the 10 amp units. The impeller fans are the same, however, for older units the shaft diameter holes are different.

That's great info Ben, thanks!

I've been looking into AC Motor Speed Controllers. It would be sweet to have a variable speed trigger on the 10 amp machine. I was looking at part numbers for Milwaukee 15 amp reciprocating saws. Full price would be $12.00 for the switch, and $30.00 for the controller. Then, a little fabricating and wiring... quite an endeavor, eh? I'll show you the prototype when it's done. Don't hold your breath...
