I'd label it in pretty good physical condition, but fair working order. Definitely some quirks to fix, like a constantly chiming bell (every keystroke and extra loud at the end of the line), right Magic Margin nonfunctional, an issue with the ribbon reverse... But it came with the lovely Executive (9cpi) typeface so I will work out the kinks happily!

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal FP on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal FP By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
