I bought a Royal canister off of ebay. Needless to say, I'm never buying a vac off of ebay again. The vacuum came with one of the prongs on the plug connecting to the handle burned. It will now short out. I was sorry to see that the cord has been discontinued, but does anybody know where I could get a new part? I am keeping the machine with just a partail refund due to the rediculous expense to ship it back to california. The hose luckily didn't burn too much so I think that can be saved. I appreciate any help. I'm bumbed that it's such a nice vacuum, and I can't use the powerhead. Thank You! - Mitchell

Sorry you had a bad experience. Ebay can be hit or miss, I have bought several vacuums off Ebay and have never been burned. For the most part I have received as good or better than I thought I was bidding on. | ||

I decided to keep it.
The seller already issued a partial refund so it is basically too late. At least I can still use the canister. Obviously, the seller was oblivious to noticing that the vacuum had a serious problem. When I find more time in my later life, I may go back to ebay for vacuums, but for now, it's not worth the time for me- Mitchell

Here is the plug
It didn't burn a lot, but enough for it to short out. It's a shame that this had to happen to such a fine, quality vacuum cleaner. I think that the hose is OK, the plug got more damage to it. The hose looks better than that in the picture, after cleaning it up a bit.

Unfortunately, it is the two piece wand. | ||

Looks like a kenmore pansonic plug I have worked on several of these that plug should be the same as a kenmore or panasonic powernozzle. Richard new2youvacuums on ebay | ||

I have 2 spare Kenmore hoses
I took them out, but they would not work with a Royal plug. The royal plug's prongs have a larger gap between the two. Would a kenmore lower wand fit on a royal powerhead, and then put a Kenmore connector inside the hose? It could then use Kenmore wands and the Royal hose, but with a Kenmore plug? I don't have a lower Kenmore wand so I can't figure it out.

Check out the oreck Lx I was tearing down several Oreck xl uprights with the switch on the handle and it looked like the prongs on the handle plug were the size you might be looking for. Richard new2youvacuums | ||
