1963 Royal Futura 800 Serial # 2A5201351 1963 Royal Futura 800 typewriter, Serial # 2A5201351 Robert Shearer's 1963 Royal Futura 800 typewriter. 2025-03-02 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Robert Shearer: 1963 Royal Futura 800 Serial # 2A5201351 Bought for $110 on ebay. Picked up from Blue Island, IL
It's missing the two ball bearings on the right side of the carriage, so about halfway across the page it gets wonky.
But, I was still able to produce a type sample.
A visit to Lucas Dul at Typewriter Chicago will get it right back in full order.
Once the bearings are replaced I believe this will be a very nice machine.
