Description:
An 890, very clean, probably hasn’t been used much- it appears the ribbon cover is ever so slightly tweaked and it impedes a few type bars. Troubleshooting was easy, a non-tweaked ribbon cover fixes the problem. If anyone has a parts machine and can spare the ribbon cover please comment. My friend would like to fix this. Thanks!

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 890 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 890 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
