Greg N. Found me this incredible little machine! Finally got to pick it up today! A Complete Electro Hygiene model 880 from 1973! In amazing original condition with all attachments which are most unused!

here she is! I had a teeny tiny bit of polish left, which could only do part of the nozzle, so the machine isn't quite finished yet.

and my current royal lineup... kinda funny they are all 880s even funnier the most flawless running one is the far left one, which is also the most tattered looking one.

Hello Ben. The machine is clearly stamped model 880. The serial number reads. No. 880- 11736. I thought that ment it was November 6th of 73. Any help appreciated | ||

@Brandon_W_T
This is actually a pre-1971 model because of the serial #; thus, I'm led to believe this may be from 1967 or 1968. The non-removable nozzle version that shares its model # became the 890 within Electro-Hygiene circles by 1969, and around 1973 proper became the 903, which continued into 1983-87 under the Royal name when E-H was shutdown. In 1971, the 880 with the removable nozzle became the 980, while the mainstream Royal version was called the 888. ~Ben | ||

I'm confused What was the purpose of the removable head? From the pictures, you had to have the head attached in order to use the converter to hook up the hose so it wasn't to make it easier. Makes no sense to me. Roger Brown | ||

Maybe the head's removable to aid in cleaning out the fan chamber when something gets stuck? | ||

Would come in handy for the far left 880 in my profile picture. The fan on that machine is cake full of hair and junk. Lol | ||

368 Extra Equipment Kit
The Extra Equipment Kit No. 368 with those special attachments mentioned continued to be made available on all Royal metal uprights with the pigtail-type cords through about 1990. I'd think the latest pigtailed-cord models were from 1991 or '92.
But, one thought: why the smaller bag? Why not just hook the standard bag? ~Ben | ||

Dunno... The smaller bag was part of the electro-hygiene ensemble from the beginning, the health-mor too | ||
