Description:
Just getting her working was really something. There was a bind in the ribbon drive gear assembly under the typewriter; figured it out and fixed the gear's meshing properly again. This is a fun feeling machine. Update 8/20/2022- sold this machine as part of a four-typewriter deal to a couple from Illinois.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
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.
