There is only one thing that makes me curious about some of the post-1995 Royals, both household and commercial: why did they go from a 9 or 10 amp motor down to an 8 amp motor in 2001? Again, all additions or corrections here are welcome. ~Ben |

Hello Ben.
You sure have done a great job in timelining the later model Royals. I'm sure there are many here who really appreciate it. If I had a need for Royal information, I would definitely be one of those who would be happy benefiting from your exhaustive work. Thank you. If I may ever assist you with Kirbys, let me know. Cheers & hagd all, Bill |

Also to be added to the list are certain dealer-exclusive models:
*5000NA (Stark's version of 992/993) (black trim and gray bag as opposed to dark blue) *5700 (Stark's version of 9700) (same burgundy trim) *4500ST (Stark's version of 4000) (same burgundy trim) If you all can think of any dealer-exclusive Royal metal uprights in terms of trim color or whatnot, please contribute to this list. The attached pic is of an Alva Royal - Alva is the name of a dealer which sold Royal vacuums - but I forget the location now. Aside from the bag, this appears to resemble the Electro-Hygiene 903 in terms of the red trim color. Thank you, Ben |
