1972 Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn Serial # 999 1972 Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn typewriter, Serial # 999 Richard Keistler's 1972 Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn typewriter. 2022-11-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Richard Keistler: 1972 Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn Serial # 999 Serial number to follow. Interesting followup model to the Apollo 10, obviously the same typewriter but in different colors and a different name. About as rudimentary as an electric machine can get, using electric power only to provide uniform type impression, but no other functions. Purchased from Nis Kildegaard, using his auction photos with permission, as I don't do this well!

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Serial Number page and the Royal (Silver-Seiko) Saturn By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
