Seller says brush roll does not turn; I said to him that the belt may be worn out.

Serial #57D-B-93073 (April 1975).
Looking at the Adjust-O-Rite plate, you can see that while the trim color is blue, the R-O-Y-A-L letters (and the crown logo) on it are white instead of red. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

This early '70s model 880 has a light-blue Scafitex bag from a model 886 (March 1991 and earlier build), 887 or 85103.
The cord has also been replaced: the main body of it is dark gray but you can still see the original light blue pigtail part of it. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

Both will need some TLC. These are from the 1995-2001 period. One of the two needs a replacement toggle switch, while both will need to have a new belt (#1672260001), brush roll (#2655225000) and a belt cover plate (#670747B).

KirbyKid,
It's special because Hoover pulled the first and last of all of their machines and stored them in "The Hoover Vault." Now that vault has been mostly cleared out to my knowledge as TTI is pulling Hoover out of North Canton Ohio. The Hoover Historical Center was bought by the Walsh University in North Canton Ohio so they have some units. So essentially this power head canister is brand new, either the 1st or last or so off the line of this model which was made in the 70's. It's a low end Celebrity since it has wrap around cord storage, no headlight and I'm not sure about attachment storage with this model. But nevertheless, these were powerful, excellent cleaning machines and built to last. The power nozzle bottom plate is metal, the suction unit is mostly metal. It's a nice red color too!! |

Absolutely Robert....I remember seeing plenty of Eureka "Wide-Trak"s as they were called in the 1970's. They even had a compatible "Wide-Trak" version of the beige Eureka tool set, which offered an extra-wide pan converter for the hose and an extra wide bare floor brush - all stored in an extra-wide cardboard attachment box.
I saw many of these before I ever saw the equivalent Sanitaire versions....They all had extra long Vibra Groomer One brushrolls. Someone out there must have the official Eureka spec sheets from the 1970's for these Wide-Trak vacs.... |

Okay - this must be the strangest thing I have ever seen....a Eureka RotoMatic canister hooked up to a cast cutting device to suck up the fine plaster as the doctor cuts off the cast! Did Eureka supply the vac to the "Stryker" medical company?

I am starting to thin the herd. Decided I need to scale back in preparation for a possible move. I will be selling machines three at a time. The whole collection is not going but it will be scaled back considerably. No reserve. Good machines. First up a Hoover Innovation with attachments. These are rare in the US but really good cleaners. Good luck. CLICK HERE TO GO TO compactelectra's LINK on eBay |

Branded "FEDERAL" on the bag. Seller erroneously says this vacuum is from the 1930s, when in fact it is from the 1971 to 1975 period.

Hey guys, I just put this thing up on eBay, I don't know much about it except that it does run. It just isn't something I'm interested in keeping in my collection, so if anyone's interested in it.....

It's not often you see a Sanitaire vacuum badged as a Clarke.

Serial #H88C003821 (August 1988), has original literature, attachments and sales documentation from 1990.
The 884 looks to be a continuation of the 880 due to the vinyl diamondback bag and 5.4 amp motor. The cord is gray. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

Bud,
What exactly? Seller says per description that it "has strong suction, and a powerful brush that you would expect from Royal. The bag is in excellent condition and the vacuum is very clean for its age. The metal shows signs of age as seen in the pictures, but it is still a good looking vacuum." ~Ben |

Serial #K86A001823 (November 1986).
Other than the patch on the upper left corner of the front of the bag, this vacuum doesn't look that much different than the model 880, because it shares the same baby-blue trim. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

Evan,
I wonder if you have any interest in buying this '84 Royal 880? Serial: B84-D-68365 (February 1984). The same seller also has a 1980 Royal 602 upright with a "Stark Special" bag on it. ~Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO KirbyClassicIII's LINK on eBay |

it does say electro hygeine on the nozzle; maybe the bag is not original,it does fit the time period. As far as the painted metal is concerned, I am not sure. |
