 I Got this Royal heavy duty yesterday from a friend. This is really rare as Royal was not available in SA till 2008 .
Its a 612v model with serial no I91115313C 220v
It runs beautifully But needs a clean up and I was really surprised that it has a Paper bag system in it Does any one Know how old it is I am not sure but think it could be from the 70's or 80's

What Royals I have delt with are really nice vacuums! Gerald sells them in his vacuums and more store in Castleton. | ||

So I used this today to do the house cleaning, using my Dyson dc37 and 35 for around the edges and hardflooring. This Royal got me think how far off track I think Kirby has gotten since the 500 series, I love my legend II BUT this thing is much ighter and does a better cleaning job, Even compared to my ultimate G and sentria This ting is easy to move and carry and I didn't feel tired after using it like I do with the Kirby's.
I am very impressed with this machine, I love those big wheels, They remind me of the wheels fitted to nascar's | ||

You did a fantastic job on this royal! Looks like new! I wish that I had your polisher! I just use mothers aluminum polish with 0000 steel wool to polish kirby's | ||

Nice Find Gareth!
Can't beat a Royal, they're powerful, maneuverable, and durable. Can't ask for more than that! You did an excellent polishing job, it's beautiful!
I have what is probably the USA version of your machine, the 1028Z. This pic was taken before I cleaned it up, but is the only pic I have of this one. Jeff

I got this royal on the weekend, Its a 220v version and was sold here for a while by a cleaning equipment supplier. it is a made in china version, I must say there is little difference between this and the 612c, The only ones I found are no carbon brush ports on the side of the motor housing, The brush is a very aggressive one featuring removable brush strips, bag obviously and the handle locks into position like a normal upright vacuum.
It also feels heavier. Time for a strip down and rebuild plus polish
