I really had no doubt it would. It doesn't work great, but good. It has what I would call a 'dry' sound. Like something needs lubricated. It's going to be display anyway, so that's not a concern. ~Tim |

Yes, Miss Royal cleaned up real nice, and you did a good job on "glitterizing" the logo! :) |

Here's the one Royal I'd love to find someday. Stan Kann had one in his collection and it's absolutely beautiful, with a streamlined, aerodynamic motor housing. |

And you did an excellent restoration job on it. Early 50's sounds about right, I have a 189 from 1946 (according to the date stamped on the armature) and a 153 from about the same era. Odd thing is, the 189 sounds more like a Kirby than a Royal. Here's a pic of both of them, along with the attachment set they share and my 157 hand vac. Jeff |
