I put a random offer in on a 880 baby blue In good condition. Buy it now 80 I offered 50 plus shipping and they accepted. I was looking at 3 different 880s this I forgot about and the other two were bidding up. I checked notifications and said offered accepted. I love kirbys but this vacuum is very good looking.
I think serial number is 55787. Im thinking 1987 or idk there serial numbers well but I have read up on royals and this is a good one. I have a prince 501 I imagine it came out around the same time since cord is royal blue. I have a 1030z from work and I just got brush roll in today after 2 weeks. This one looks turn key. Any information would be appreciated I'm no royal expert. Thanks les CLICK HERE TO GO TO Lesinutah's LINK on eBay |

Thanks
For info. Below is link to the stark royal 880 I mentioned. Yours is nicer but 20 bucks for one of best vacuums in Era. Ben I plan to extend bag tube to take top fill bags like newer royals. Do you have part numbers for brush roll bearings carbon brushes and in outer bag where bag connects to exhaust. I'm not talking about tube bags fit on im talking about metal assembly Hooks on exhaust. Last part number the headlight. Thanks les CLICK HERE TO GO TO Lesinutah's LINK on Spokane Craigslist |

Les,
That 880 would appear to be a 1977-80 model, as the seller says it has a 3 amp motor. Anyway, the part numbers you'll want to find are: 1-043271-000 - brush roll bearing (2 used) 1-672021-000 - carbon brush (use with carbon brush cap 1-672103-000) (2 used) 1-672103-000 - carbon brush cap (2 used) 1-120103-000 - bag inlet pin (2 used) 1-880629-000 - headlight bulb (120 volt, for 3 to 7 amp non-drop-in motors) ~Ben |

The models with removable nozzles were the Royal 888, Electro-Hygiene 980, and Galaxy Prestige 990. The 880 did not have a removable nozzle. These models had a belt lifter combined with the adjust-o-rite cover instead of the standard adjust-o-rite over, and had a latch for the nozzle. Here's a picture of my Electro-Hygiene 980. You'll notice a tab on top of the adjust-o-rite. This was turned to the left to disengage the belt so the nozzle could be removed. Wish I had the attachment set for it, or at least the coupler so I could use the set from my 903 EH.

Thanks for the info. You're hygiene is nice. The more I learn about royal/electro hygiene/Stark the more I love them. There nice lightweight and powerful. I got my brush for my 1030z and that roller is alot heavier duty than kirbys. I can't wait to fire up 1030z and see the power.
I'm going to get led light for 880 and fire it up. Thanks again. Les |

Les,
There were even commercial models with the flip-top headlight: they were models 606A (1968 to 1977) and the 608 (1977 to 1987). ~Ben |

Yeah, for many people, especially if they've had an item for a long time, a "new" part simply means it was replaced at some point while they had it. I'm inheriting a 1964 Oldsmobile convertible from my father, which has a "new" top that was installed in 1986 and has thus been on the car for more than half its life.
