Hello to everyone. I rejoined the group back in November after an absence of a couple years or so. There were many things going on at the time. I will be posting every now and then when I can. I would like to inquire about some Royal vacuums. I purchased a Royal model 801 and model 903 last year. I like the fact that the handle plugs into the motor unit. One of the machines the cord/plug is gray and the other is maroon. I have also seen them in 2 shades of blue, red and white. Was there ever a Royal made with the trim and cord in black?
