The wide front wheels on the 602 would not have been original to the machine, either. All 602s had narrow wheels on all fours.
-
And if the bag on this Royal were correct, then the model would be a 611 and it would also have a 3-wire cord instead of a 2-wire one.

Is yours manufactured in 1977, too?
-
@crazychrisva but kirby vacuums are still great vacuums
-
Yes = November 1974. Could you please make me a video of it?
-
@ClassicTVMan81 my 602 serial number says #47L A
so that would be 1974 ? and also has had the bag replaced like this one has been
-
The bag currently on this 602 is not original, as it would wrongly lead people to believe it is a heavy-duty commercial model. Why? The 602 is classified as an economy model. The original bag was actually colored gray and was a "shake out" bag (did not use throwaway bags).

Forgot to say thank you for the serial #!
-
That would make this machine a 1977 model. The serial # reads as follows:
7 = calendar year 1977
7 = calendar year decade 1970s
C = calendar month March
A = assembly line/plant code
28866 = unit sequence number
-
serial 77c A 28866
I have just about the same vac. The Royal Commercial, the one I have is a the same age as yours. I had to replace the bag because of holes in the old one. I also do not have a light on mine. All and all I have to say that Royal kicked Kirby's ass with this cleaner.
All medal blades and whole lot less plastic, something Kirby lacks.
