This is what I walked away with from our excursion to
My work. I also had a brown and tan eureka in very nice shape,
But the Brushroll houseing was melted. So I took a rain check
So I could pick something up next time I go.
This is the Same royal that chase got but his has the right bag. But thats Okay because I like this one better. It needs Oil, A belt, And a brushroll. Other then that it runs nice.
I have yet to clean it up but I will post picture when I Do.

Davis,

Whatever you do.....DO NOT WASH THE BAG IN THE WASHING MACHINE!! Actually, nothing will happen but the logo at the top will basically wash off and all that will be left is a basic "shadow". I washed mine in the machine and I regret it as this is what happened to mine.

You are probably better off just lightly washing it with some Dawn dish soap outside in a basin and rinsing it off with a hose and left to hang dry.

Also, if this model has the oilers, only add a drop or two-NO MORE! Let it soak in for a few hours if not a whole day. This way the wick inside will absorb the oil and lubricate the bearing properly. ONLY USE SAE 30 NON DETERGENT OIL.

Good Luck!

880 Question

kirbyclassiciii's profile picture
Didn't Royal discontinue the 880 around 1985 and replace it with the 884?
