You didn't say whether or not they run or how well they run, but to answer your question, I'd say if they run good they're ALL keepers! A good polishing and the Kirbys & the Royal will be beautiful! The Lux already looks pretty good from what I can see in the pic. I also noticed you have instruction books for the Kirby Omega and the Electrolux E, that's always a plus.

Some of the household Royals did use a 3-wire cord but very few of them (less than one percent) would have been specified with such (3-wire cords are used mainly on commercial-duty models). A household-grade Royal with a 3-wire cord would have a "T" appended to its model # (e.g. 882T, 8801AET, 89130T, 89135T, 4000T) or, in the early days, a "3-" prefix (e.g. 3-153, 3-501, 3-602, 3-604, 3-801).

The Kirby and Royal look pretty good to me. I'm sure the other 2 are good as well, but being picky myself and more a liking towards 1980-2000 machines, that Royal looks gorgeous and is most likely very valuable!!!!
I've never owned a Royal, I think I'd be proud proud to own that. I'd have to test drive it someday!! |

When you say it's a "Screamer" Is that a good thing or a bad thing. Screamer...like it's powerful....or screamer like it's loud... Thanks |

"Screamer" refers to both loud and powerful. The 9amp Royals sound like they are in a race to vacuum every bit of dust from the carpet as fast as possible! I have a similar model 2000 with an 8.7 amp drop in motor, and while all of my other lower rated Royals (2.8, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0,7.5, and 8.0 amps) are more relaxed, the "green screamer" seems to pick up more dirt deep in the carpets than any of my Royals or Kirby's.

First of all, the Electrolux canister has the wrong hose, the hose is a Electrolux Special Edition hose. Not saying I am judging, just pointing out that it is the wrong hose. I COMPLETELY recommend refurbishing the Kirby and the Royal I98 and the Kirby Classic 1-CR or Classic Omega 1-CS. Especially the Kirby Heritage 1-HD.
