Description:
I fixed a broken J keylever on this '61 Royal Futura 800 and gave the typewriter to my friend Carly Foxgrover for Christmas 2019. She has two antique typewriters "like the ones in the movies," so this will be better for her than typing on a rock-hard old platen machine.

After finding a Smith-Corona Coronet 12 at a curb-side (in Winter while walking the dog) I carried it home; after it thawed out and started coming back to life I was hooked. My interest in this hobby lead to taking two parts typewriters to create one good unit. This typewriter aliment is (pretty much) in-curable!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Futura 800 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Futura 800 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
