Description:
This was a freebie I got that has a misaligned carriage, broken drawband, stuck keys, awful feed rollers, and also two missing feet. I wasn't going to take it, but since it was free....

I’m an amateur typewriter enthusiast from the Midwest who buys and restores typewriters. I was enamored with them since I was young, and got hooked when I was about 13; having received my first machine as a gift. Since then I have bought a lot more, and have founded Typewriters Wanted, my hobby business! At Typewriters Wanted, our mission is to procure the best typewriter for everyone, and give new life to old technology. Maybe one day I'll give a machine to a child who will begin the new generation of Typewriter Hunters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
