@kenkart
I'd love to find myself an NOS Royal 880 like yours! Although I'd prefer mine to be a 1986 or 1987 model as it was the most advanced version (5.4 amp motor as opposed to the 3.0 amp motor yours has), as well as among the last before Royal overhauled the lineup of all of its classic metal uprights for mid-1987 (the 880 was replaced by the 886). After about September of 1986, the Royal decal appeared below the Adjust-O-Rite on the nozzle. ~Ben

Because I don't have the room or the tools or the skills to take apart and renew an old used vac, these NOS or NIB vintage vacuums always interest me.
My question: does the lack of use of a decades-old machine create problems for the motors? I can understand how a brush-roll belt would need to be replaced after all these years of non-use, but are there other problems created by having a vac sit in "suspended animation" for so long? Most importantly, do the motors "dry up," so to speak? | ||

Pulse the motor? I know this is the wrong area, but my Kirby G5 hasn't been used in awhile and when it was used it was ran at max power. Is this a bad thing? -Jayson | ||

When we mean a while, we generally mean 10 plus years. When I got my 1929 hoover 575, which had been used up until the 50s, I let it go full speed without thinking. Purred like a kitten! :) Of course I wont do that again. | ||

My G5 has been sitting for months unused Does that count as being unused? Will letting it run full speed kill it? -Jayson | ||

I have a new in box
1980's Thermax vacuum. I love it and I do plan to use it someday. lol
The only time it has ever seen use was at the last convention. I wish I could find the ultra rare paper bag option for it. YES Thermax did have paper and cloth bags if you didn't want to use the water!!! I called Thermax and asked if I could find one and the lady said " oh, honey we haven't made that in 25 years". | ||

Jayson Your G5 will be just fine. :) I assure you unless it was sitting outside or something, it most definitely wont kill it. | ||
