A blue beast indeed. (One that could be taken down by the odd pebble or nail mind you!) Scott |

I never have that kind of luck with yard sales or thrift stores. |

All nice but the straight suction Royal may be more rare than with power head.I have seen very few with power head,none without.Would be perfect with a Royal upright.Sort of like a grown up Oreck combo idea. |

I like the Hoover sulking over at the end of the photo. It's a nice color. One of those is on my someday list of Hoover canisters I want to add to my collection. What condition is it in? |

Nice finds Scott! And I agree with Morgan, the Royal tank will probably have the best airflow of all of them! It will do a great job, even without a power nozzle! And yes, it's probably a rare one too! Most of them I've seen are blue and they did make it in burgandy for a while, but I think this is the first time I've seen this one in gray.

The straight suction Royal tank is a good find. It came new with a matching color 3 prong cord, and was indeed intended for commercial use, I have the manual for mine and it does call it a commercial machine if my memory is correct. It was the very last model of the tank made, and is a very powerful machine. I actually enjoy using it on carpet, which is a very rare thing for me to say about a suction only machine. I don't know how rare they are, but have always been told that not many were made or sold compared to the other models with the PN. I've heard it called rare enough that I tend to believe it, so I call it a good find.
