    Lots of recent new additions to my collection

    Royal 2028 I found a brand new original outer bag to make this like new. It was built October 2002. I believe this could be one of the last US built 2028 and it has become one of my favorites!

    Lots of recent new additions to my collection

    When I joined Vacuumland a little over a year ago I thought it would be interesting and maybe I would find a belt cover for my Royal 215. I never thought I would become a real collecter, but I have so many now, I am! My focus is on Royals but I have become a Kirby fan too. I am finding them...

    Thanks Doug and Richard for your help! Replacing the brushes was what I was thinking (and hoping) too. I have ordered them and will pop them in next week. Mike

    Kirby Legend II motor problem

    I just added a Kirby Legend II in beautiful condition to my collection. It runs quietly and smoothly but occasionally, especially when first turned on, the motor slows down for a few seconds, the headlight and the amber power light dim and flicker, and it smells like something is burning (not...

    Royal question

    I just bought a Royal 2028 manufactured in the US in October of 2002. Does anyone know if later built (2003-2004) were made in China? Mike

    Royal Royalette hand vacuum

    I just bought this Royalette on E-Bay. It is in excellent condition and runs like new with powerful suction. The nozzle is made of hard rubber. From what I can find from archived newspaper ads on the internet, it was made as early as 1930 and sold for about $15-20.00 in the mid 1930's. Does...

    Kirby 560/561 vs Eureka Model M

    I mentioned in an earlier post that I thought the Kirby 560 was one of the most elegant designs, right up there with the Eureka Model M. Here is a picture of the two together for comparison. Mike

    Royal 886/F

    I just added an earlier 886 to my fleet of Royals and it is one of my favorites. It is lightweight and very easy to use and has plenty of power. It's 6 amp motor is much quieter than the 8-10 amp newer motors. It looks like Royal has introduced a new metal upright that looks like the Everlast...

    Two more old Kirby's rescued from the boneyard

    My preference has always been Royal's and I have several now, but I have to admit I have been warming up to early Kirby's as well. I find most of my vacuums at the local Goodwill outlet store. Recently I found a 509 with a tan bag, red trim, and lots of scuffing. I lke the honest and purposful...
