Description:
Not sure if this is true of all the Royals in this range (this is my first) but my goodness this machine is by far the quietest I own. It almost sounds like the slugs are not hitting the platen. In fact, I took the platen off for cleaning (it was filthy) and it sounded almost identical. The machine is a pure pleasure to type on and worth the price I paid for it just to look at the ribbon reverse and ribbon colour selector "wings". Delighted with my purchase and a little concerned that I'll be chasing after other Royal typewriters soon.
As for that number 5 - squeee!

My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching the Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021. My addiction/collection began then and now consists of 39 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" ( a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
