Description:
This one sat on the shelf in limbo between project or parts. It was so greasy and full of cat hair that everything was stuck. After cleaning the sad story of buggered up screws was revealed along with a bent up ribbon drive mechanism. A lot of lacquer thinner later and sorting out problems, it works. However, I am saving a nice platen for something else. In the end it should have been placed on the parts side.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet De Luxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet De Luxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
