1940 Royal KMM Serial # KMM-2662910 1940 Royal KMM typewriter, Serial # KMM-2662910 Amanda Wood's 1940 Royal KMM typewriter. 2023-07-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Amanda Wood: 1940 Royal KMM Serial # KMM-2662910 Unable to take a typeface sample as this poor machine is in terrible disrepair. Will require a full tear down and cleaning over time, and would've even if the delivery service hadn't dropped the box and bent the carriage off its track. I've been able to get it at least half functional so I could get the SN, but nothing else will be happening until I get a new can of PB B'laster and try to get some screws and bolts moving.

The biggest culprit. I was able to use a screwdriver for leverage to get it back on track enough I could slide the carriage and find the SN.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal KMM on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal KMM By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
