The problem. Interestingly, the new hose has a three prong connection.

What did they do to it? My next project with this machine is to work on the power nozzle. The rug guards have been broken off. Is this a Cen-Tec power nozzle? Would the base off another Cen-Tec work with this? Any other suggestions?

Bonus! The seller was actually selling this as hose and power nozzle replacement. They took a Filter Queen power nozzle and wired in a Royal pigtail. Wasn't the Optima a bagged Filter Queen? There isn't a lot of discussion about it in the archives.

Optima Yes,a bagged FG(or Princess as it was for vac stores).Many dealers and customers felt it showed how well FQ could make a cone vac and how little they knew of a bag vac! | ||

The Royal-branded power nozzle is the old Whirlpool design. You can get that replacement part from Panasonic or Hayden. DESCO has those base plates for pretty cheap. | ||

The power nozzle is a Cen-Tec CT14DX. They have made a few updates over the years but bases are still producted. With eBay searching, you may be able to find an older style 2 brush strip, single beater bar agitator. But otherwise, these power heads have been using the wooden chevron designed agitator for several years.
