1960 Royal Royalite Serial # 4432252 1960 Royal Royalite typewriter, Serial # 4432252 David Vandergucht's 1960 Royal Royalite typewriter. 2024-11-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Vandergucht: 1960 Royal Royalite Serial # 4432252 The Royalite is a cute typewriter. So far my experience has been that it's a little rickety. I've cleaned it up pretty thoroughly, degreased and lubricated. It types alright, but I often trigger a skip when I press the space bar very rapidly after typing the final letter of a word. I suppose a disciplined and slower typing cadence would help stop that particular problem. It is very light and portable though.

I wasn't going to buy this typewriter, but the seller had it posted online and just kept lowering and lowering the price until I couldn't just leave it there.
