I need a new vacuum and am strongly leaning towards a Royal all-metal. Unfortunately, Royal no longer makes them with headlights. It's not a deal-breaker, but a headlight is a Really Nice feature.
I found the headlight assembly available as a replacement part. Would it be possible/practical to add a headlight to a vacuum that didn't have it? CLICK HERE TO GO TO EEMac's LINK | ||

Well I have no idea if there's any plug-n-play part, maybe someone around here does?
But otherwise, if you're willing and able, you could do just about any modification you want. But you know, you might have to fabricate parts. It's a shame nobody on the web seems to have a picture of the actual part number you found. Kinda hard to tell when you don't know how it looks. | ||

Michael,
A good idea, for sure. All my three Royal metal uprights have a light on them. My recommendations for Royal metal uprights with the headlight are: 880 886 or 887 (light blue trim) 992 or 993 (magnum blue trim) 994 or 995 (like 992/993, but with 7 amp motor) 996 (like 994/995, but also with brush speed indicator light on nozzle) ~Ben

I’d be shocked if Royal no longer makes the vacuum in the link below.

UR38200 = no headlight
broomvac, good research! Unfortunately, the UR38200 may no longer include a headlight - see link below - and honestly the new stock is out of my price range. Still, hopefully this will help others looking for the same thing. Be sure to contact your supplier to make sure you're getting a headlight if that's important to you!

This does come as a surprise to me. My grandfather bought one which looked like the one in the link and it came with a headlight, but this was 10-12 years ago and it may have been an 8300.
I hope this doesn't come off as rubbing salt in the wound, but I would actually be pleased if, in fact, Royal is now offering a household vacuum with no headlight. I once had a Royal with a headlight (880) and I always wished it didn't. I would have gotten rid of the light if I could have without leaving behind ugly holes, because I think the vacs with the adjust-o-rite cover look much better without the headlight! To each his own. :) Contacting Royal directly may be another way to figure this out. Even if they have discontinued this feature, perhaps they would have at least one NOS unit which you or your local dealer could obtain. Good luck! | ||

You may also be interested in this cleaner. It is advertised as brand new and with a headlight. Not a bad price either.

Pulled the trigger on a CR5128Z!
You guys are great! I really appreciate the eBay links - that MRY8200 is going to be a heck of a deal for someone. I pulled the trigger on a CR5128Z to get screw height adjustment and 10A of cleaning power, but it took a day to decide which to get. Looking forward to joining the Royal family, heh.
