Hi, I think it's to be believed Royal uprights had had two different impeller fan designs for its motors, as with Kirby. Correct? Many of the Royal all-metal uprights had six-blade impeller fans while all the later ones used ten-blade impeller fans. So, what year did Royal begin using the ten-blade metal fan on its metal uprights? VIDEOS FOR COMPARISON Royal 992 (sounds like a 6-blader): Royal 882 (sounds like a 10-blader): Royal 880 (sounds like a 6-blader): Royal 884 (sounds like a 10-blader): ~Ben | ||

Yes it's true. My 2002 Royal Classic has a 10 blade fan and could suck the chrome off a car. I do want to sell it if anyone is interested BTW. | ||

There's Nine Blades, Not Ten
Hi, I must correct myself to say that what I thought as ten-bladed fans for the Royals are actually nine-bladed. And yes, the six-bladed fan would actually be five-bladed. There had been other nine-bladed fans, too. The current one is part #608005, with a slip-fit design. The other nine-bladed fan is part #620004, which is threaded. I believe the five-bladers are part #s 608004 (for large 8mm motor shaft) and 53004 (for small shaft, used on very old Royal uprights). Both have short hubs. But ... is it true that part #608005 can be used in place of number #608004 as long as I pay attention to the shaft diameter? ~Ben | ||
