198x Royal Cavalier1200 Serial # 5C 044282 198x Royal Cavalier1200 typewriter, Serial # 5C 044282 David Richman's 198x Royal Cavalier1200 typewriter. 2024-08-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Richman: 198x Royal Cavalier1200 Serial # 5C 044282 This was gifted to my great grandmother on her wedding anniversary 40 or so years ago, when I brought up to her that I collect typewriters she gave this and a bunch of old cassettes to me.
When researching this machine I found that it might be made from 1979 to 1982 so I think mines from 1980 but theres no way to rilly know yet.
It types well, had to take it to a typewriter repair shop cuz the drive belt just got warn out, this machine was last used in the 90s soooo, planed obsolescence?
Anyway they got it working again with a Smith Corona belt.
Also, I hate those case designs, like do they want the machine to fall out onto the street?
