Welcome, Doug. I think you will enjoy this group. The members have been very friendly to me and I'm sure they will be to you as well.
I like the same vacuums you do. I have three Royal uprights, an early commercial 606, a red 903 and an 886. Until three months ago I had a Tri Star DXL, but gave it to a local thrift shop when I was down sizing my collection. And Air Way, a wonderful machine. I hope to find an Air Way Saniclean one day. I mostly collect Kirbys, but have a couple of Rainbows too. Again, welcome. Justin |

I'm pretty much a Kirby guy myself; however, I own one Royal and it is a fantastic vacuum. The brush stiffeners turn it into a self-propelled vacuum and really improve the performance of the brush roll. It is light and maneuverable too. Hang onto that Tristar too. In my opinion, older Tristars and Compacts are the best canister vacuums made. They are very durable, simple to work on, filter very well, and are extremely powerful too.
