Is it true that the picture used to depict the model 884 in this brochure is actually a doctored photo of a fall 1986 era model 880? Both the 884 and the prior 880 look similar down to the blue trim and bag (as well as the wide front and intermediate rear wheels), but on the 884 the cord is grey.
The reason I think the 884 photo is doctored is because the Adjust-O-Rite plug design has the words "Adjust" and "Rite" encircling the top and bottom halves of the plug respectively, whereas in 1987 the plug design changed to that of the words "Adjust" and "Rite" encircling the stub opening on the top half, and below is the BELT POSITION marking (also, on the top there are arrows with the word PULL which show you how to remove the plug). (In 1988, another minor change to the AOR involved some text of a warning encircling the bottom half of the plug reads "CAUTION: MOVING PARTS. UNPLUG BEFORE OPENING.") ~Ben

Headlight Deodorizer? Your attention to detail is amazing. What is meant by "deodorizer" and how did it work with the headlight? Jay | ||

headlight compartment @ jayelux...... on Electro Hygiene and some Royal models there is a little compartment under the headlight on the top of the nozzle housing which could be filled with special crystals that would evaporate as air was drawn through, releasing a fresh scent. | ||

Deodorizer Thanks for the explanation about the deodorizer. I've always loved this era of Royals. The blue. The curves of the wands. The on-off switch...sigh! | ||
