Thanks

Hey Ya I notice different shaft diameter on your post. I got royal all put together. I seem to have same issues the wires came loose so I need to rewire. My 880 I had wired but I put new carbon brush housing on it so wiring is not together again. I know you posted before do you have it again. I mess up carbon brushes and wiring. The royal although lower amp my 880 was running real good. There setup keeps motor and carbon brushes good and grease washer in bottom is genius. You don't have to tear into motor to oil bearings. The only issue is like small thread gets in motor through small vents. Get stuck by field coil and motor housing. The carbon brushes are long. There not quite as thick or fat as Kirby Omega to heritage 2 brushes. There both six amp and royal has longer brush meaning it's going to run longer before tune up. I feel they out suck Kirby's Kirby just gets larger surface area of suction to floor. I respect royals alot. Next projects are d80 which won't take long my 501. My parents geier and royal model 98. The 98 is straight suction and it's progressing nicely. I just had a brain fart I guess this post is done. Thanks again Ben you are encyclopedia of royal. I learned a bunch about Kirby's from you.. I recently got a 1,cr classic with all attachments. I also have a tradition. I learned alot messing my cr cb and tradition last time. I've already tuned up tradition put my 2.75 inch fill tube on it. I will do tune up on cr and polish after. I knoyou have a classic so I'll post pics of mine soon. It has goldish bag. Les
