Is 15 bucks a good deal for a stark?

How old is it?  Is it in reasonable condition?  At $15 you can't go too wrong for an all metal Royal that is built to last.

You clearly cannot give the value of a vacuum just the by the name. You would need a model number and the kind of condition it is in...

I got the guy down to $10 and I bought it. It's a model 880 and it's in very good condition. It even came with an extra brushroll.

Could you please show us pictures of your acquisition? One view I'd really like to see is the nameplate, which prior to 1971 is on the underside of the motor, and after 1971, on the back view of the nozzle by the front wheels.

Thank you,



Ben

Yes, I can show pictures. It has the nameplate on the back of the nozzle.
