I don't know alot about Royal vacuums. I know more about Kirby than I do Royal. Anyway, for $3.00, I simply couldn't leave this sad-looking Royal just sitting there! I didn't resize the picture, so look out! ~Tim

It Works! I really had no doubt it would. It doesn't work great, but good. It has what I would call a 'dry' sound. Like something needs lubricated. It's going to be display anyway, so that's not a concern. ~Tim

Yes, Miss Royal cleaned up real nice, and you did a good job on "glitterizing" the logo! :) | ||

Here's the one Royal I'd love to find someday. Stan Kann had one in his collection and it's absolutely beautiful, with a streamlined, aerodynamic motor housing.

Beautiful Royal, Tim!
And you did an excellent restoration job on it. Early 50's sounds about right, I have a 189 from 1946 (according to the date stamped on the armature) and a 153 from about the same era. Odd thing is, the 189 sounds more like a Kirby than a Royal. Here's a pic of both of them, along with the attachment set they share and my 157 hand vac. Jeff
