Pretty machine. It's a lot like one my uncle had when I was a little kid that I was scared to death of! Does it have a hammertone-blue painted motor housing?

 

[1926700]

chrome , chrome , and more chrome
ino other words no hammer tone here

You did good! That's the best $40.00 deal I've seen lately.

Oh!

That looks just like mine. Except I got mine for only $1.00 at a garage sale. I've always loved the soft hum of these old royal motors and the baby blue bag and trim...

Beautiful Machine, Jason!

And I'm sure you've already noticed, they clean well and are easy to maneuver. Enjoy!!

Nice!

That is very beautiful machine you have. Blue is one of my favorite colors for vacuums next to red and burgundy. I think I will have to add a Royal upright to my want list.

Hi Jason....

That's a nice one! I have an 880 too; it's my daily driver. They are great! They're so easy to drive, almost self-propelled, and virtually indestructible. Royal did well using that same simple and basic design for many, many, years.
