RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal 1200 Electric on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal 1200 Electric By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
