To my eyes These all could pass as "factory fresh" new. Looks like you do good work. Thanks for sharing. | ||

Great job! Those Royals look like new now. In my opinion, at least 1 Royal upright is a MUST for a vacuum collection. Powerful, much lighter than a Kirby to use on carpet, great filtration when used with HEPA Cloth bags, and they seem to last forever. Paired with a nice straight suction canister, they make a great home cleaning team.

Thank’s guy’s I enjoy restoring the old metal bodied vacuums they are so tough and reliable.
I started out a few years back restoring antiques but found they are harder to find now a days and more expensive , so I decided last December to try restoring a vacuum and then it stemmed out from there, now I have almost 20 of them, my wife thinks I’m obsessed but she’s not complaining that I’m vacuuming the rugs twice a week though…lol Now I’m on the hunt again for a vacuum that needs to be saved and restored. | ||
