Description:

Royal De Luxe. This is the first typewriter I bought for my wife. We found it at an antique shop. The machine and case were in great condition, so we thought... Why not? Let's buy a typewriter!

Today... Dozens of typewriter purchases later, I can come back to this machine and say it is a joy to write on. It doesn't have the personality of an SM3 or the feel of a Hermes 3000, but it is a solid machine that writes and feels great!

"Freedom" Shift Key!

The hidden chamber of margins...

Tabulation settings on the back of the machine.

I like that the case had pegs in which the typewriters feet slide onto. Then, there are levers to lock the machines in place. These machines do not move at all in the case and are very secure.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.

My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
