Yes, this was the "master dealer" equivalent of the model 885, sold only at qualifying Royal dealers who sold a set amount of machines. This machine has no headlight.

If your machine was made before March 1990 it would have a six-blade impeller fan (if original), otherwise it will have the nine-blade impeller fan. What is the serial number on yours, please?

The impeller fan can be seen if you remove the Adjust-O-Rite plate. A flashlight would also help you in your case.

And because the serial number on your machine states it was made in February of 1991, it would be nine blades and unlike the original, it also actually slips on instead of screwing on in reverse.

Yes, all pre-1995 Royals have an oil port (ball bearing motors have only one cap at the rear of the motor). Royal says to oil the motor at least once a year for general household use. To oil, remove the red protective cap over the tube and apply 3 or 4 drops of medium grade (SAE 30) motor oil -- never use lightweight sewing machine oil. Make sure the oil does not overflow down the edge of the tube.
