1968 Royal Custom Serial # CM7466572 1968 Royal Custom typewriter, Serial # CM7466572 Russell Knight's 1968 Royal Custom typewriter. 2026-01-20 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Russell Knight: 1968 Royal Custom Serial # CM7466572 Sighted at a mall antique shop along with a Royal Sabre. Has NC#634634 written on the case and under the cover, seems post-fab but I don't know what it means. Pica typeface.

This Custom had the annoying habit of adding a space after you press some of the keys on the top row, that and the vibrator was jammed in the up position, the tab setting mechanism didn't work and something is desperately wrong with those typebars. I though about buying it solely because I'd like a good challenge; who knows, maybe I'll go back for it later...
