Description:
1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe in gray with green keys. Pica, 10 CPI. Dated 1953 against RA-2696006, logged here as 1953. A client machine: a same-day rush job in January 2026 for an owner who was in town for one day.
Work done on the bench:
- Deep chemical cleaning of the machine and platen
- R and 6 type slugs repaired
- Magic Margins repaired
Final evaluation: 7 out of 10. The escapement is very sensitive, so it wants proper typing technique to avoid skips. Serviced by Slow Letter Co., Syracuse, Utah. https://slowletterco.com
