I found this nice Royal Commercial at a garage sale the other day and it was just to nice to leave behind, especially at $20. It is very smooth running, and in good shape, just needs polished and a good cleaning. The cool part is, down the road from my aunt and uncle's house was a house that had a sunroom in the back that you could see from the street, and you could see in it when you passed it on the road, and I would always notice an Oreck and Royal Commercial in there. Well this garage sale was at a house across the street, and they said they were selling it for the people across the street. So I got that Royal that I have been eyeing for years! So that is really neat. I'll post more pictures when I get it all cleaned up.

Chase,

This Royal Commercial upright looks to be a model 1030Z (with 10-amp motor) from 1995-2001, correct?

Chase,

671Z = this one must be dated between January and March 1995 since the 1030Z replaced it in April of that year.
