Les,
Yes, but they were optional. At the time of the original sale, if you wanted these with your 880 you actually had to include this in the original order: 303 Deluxe Attachment Kit. I know, my 1985 Royal 880 only came with the two extension wands. ~Ben |

Thanks.
I even caught a video of your 880 stark. It was short but nice. Today i tore 880 down cleaned no polish just cleaned head motor brush. I put it back together but I missed 2 gaskets. I will put them in and re attach wires and bring back to life. I might do a YouTube video of vacuum. It runs great before tear down hopefully just as good again. Les |

I went back looked at ebay pics. Wouldn't you know it had pics i needed. I had almost had it right just repositioned wheels onto spring.
The big spring went on the handle base. I just need to fix wires. There is 2 power wires from Armiture. Two wires from headlight. Two wires from power supply. Im know there were grouped in 2 wire nuts. So 6 wires 2 wire nuts. I think I can figure it out. Power cord is positive and neutral. Headlight is power and neutral. Armiture is 2 power wires i believe. Les Armiture T |

Les,
And the power switch has two black (live) wires, one to be connected with the same black wire to the short cord going from the inside of the handle assembly to the motor unit, and the other one with the black wire to the longer main cord that emerges from outside of the handle. Here's the Royal 886 parts diagram to help you; the 886 is nearly similar to your 880 but uses a 6 amp motor instead of the 4.5 amp one. ~Ben |

Thanks for diagram.
I got it to turn on but motor sounds noisy. I think wiring is off bottom of Armiture is too tight or carbon brushes are pressing against Armiture. Ben bottom of motor housing is lukeva oil ring held in by 3 screws. It has the spout thing that hasred cap. What is this for. Isbit a bearing you grease or oil. Thanks again diagram helps alot. Les |

Thanks for the diagrams and explanation it helped quite a bit.
2 questions. Is Armiture on d80 and royal 880 the same but royal is newer with different impeller blades? It looks real similar imo. My 1030z and my 880 its like i over tightened fan. I put on fans tight but not super tight. Tight enough it spins Armiture but not too loose' that you could loosen with hand. I was wondering what could cause this? the bearings on bottom of Armiture put in too tight or if i put belt on backwards i don't know. I don't want to tear apart trying to fix screw something else up since I tend to do this. Thanks Les |

It looks like my main spring is in the right position. Don't worry about it, I'll sort it out from the other one or sit down and figure it all out intuitively.

Hey
The bracket handle attaches too at base next to the spring. There is like a plate that has 3 holes. The middle hole is where spring attaches with a screw with nut on left side. The handle release on front of vacuum handle near the bottom catches on the plate with 3 holes. It sits on top of plate i believe 3 notches it goes in the middle notch. The spring on bottom of the handle with the screw and the washer previously mentioned the screw when attaching screw with washer be in correct position and the screw catches spring and spring(if looking at spring behind vacuum and handle comes towards you.) will catch the bottom part of handle and the spring needs to be bent towards you between 20-45 degrees. On the bottom of the handle you will notice a notch on right side where spring is suppose to catch. You know handle is in correct position when its 90 degrees or straight up on vacuum. You have to tinker with sprinv to go through and catch handle. I hope it makes sense to you. On bottom backside of vacuum on back wheels is the other screw keeps wheels in position for adjust o right handle. If you type in 880 on ebay there is maybe 4 machines sll different views that can help. The link ben provided the teardown might also help.. Les |
