Real1Shep Kevin,
The model 880 would be a great choice! Those seem to be quite plentiful on eBay.

Great....thanks so much! I meant to write that bags & spare parts need to be plentiful.
Are the cloth HEPA type bags available for this model?

Bag? What's the deal with the bag on the 880 auction from OR? Shouldn't the bag say Royal somewhere...is that a generic bag bought to save money?

Ben..... so if I wanted to use a HEPA type bag, I would need to buy an outer bag that takes the Royal Type B disposable bags? Are these available from Royal....ebay?

I have a 801 I wouldn't trade for any other upright on earth, its a 1958 and I always go back to it, I have a late 70s 880 that is almost new in the box, pretty, but I like the old 801 better. | ||

Real1Shep Kevin,
Congratulations on the seller accepting your preferred offer! You will not be disappointed when your 880 arrives and you put it to the test!
The gray bag I see on this machine at present is an aftermarket bag, as the metal spring that hooks to the top of the handle was never used by Royal at all... rather they used a chain-link hook.
This is what a model 880 looked like back in 1975... it was the last year the motor assembly had both rear and front bearings, this is why there'll be two oil caps present.
And here is an 880 parts list dating from the mid-1960s, plus an owner's manual dated 1985 (the latter courtesy of Matt Naiva aka upright886).

880 Top Handle Kevin,
Here's a picture of a 1975 801's top handle... but on the 880 the color of the grip will be, of course, light blue.
