Royal Model 880

Someone brought up the subject of the 880 and I was wondering if anybody had one? Is it rare? Where can I get tools?

You can also see my pug, Hershey, near the top right corner with her buddy, Nestle.

Actually there are quite a few 880's around. In fact, there are two of them on ebay right now. It's one of the few Royal models that were badged BOTH as Royal AND Electro-Hygiene. The EH 880 is trimmed in red instead of blue--red bumpers, cord, handle grip, and adjust-o-rite, and the bag will either be white with red printing, red with silver printing, or red with black printing.
Unfortunately, the tools are harder to come by than the vac itself--I'm on the lookout for a red set for my Electro-Hygiene 903!!
