Feedback
From the manufacturer
In 1904, in a small machine shop, two men produced their first Royal typewriter. Their guiding principles of innovation and quality are the foundation of their company and products. And now today, Royal resurrects the Classic! It's ideal for those who prefer a nostalgic décor, a retro look or an escape from digital technology.
Caring for Your Typewriter
Dusting
Dust can get in between the parts of your typewriter and cause it to not function correctly. Regularly dust your typewrite to keep it in perfect working order.
Storage
Make sure to store your typewriter where it will not be exposed to extensive dust or sunlight.
Lubricant
These typewriters do NOT need lubrication. Over oiling your typewriter can actually reduce the life of the product.
Bent or Broken Parts
Many small parts that work together in this machine. If your typewriter is not functioning properly, take off the metal housing and check for any bent parts that may be inhibiting your typewriter.
The Perfect Gift for Aspiring Writers
This classic typewriter makes the perfect gift! It comes out of the box with everything you need to get started. Just add paper and you are all set!
Product Description
In 1904, in a small machine shop, two men produce their first Royal typewriter. Their guiding principles of innovation and quality are the foundation of their company and products. And now today, Royal resurrects the Classic! The Royal Classic Portable Manual Typewriter features all metal construction, a wide 11 in. carriage, 88 characters, and a black and red nylon ribbon. It's ideal for those who prefer a nostalgic décor, a retro look or an escape from digital technology. A true “wireless device” the Portable Classic Manual is perfect for on-the-go authors! Comes with a pre-installed ribbon, storage case and owner’s manual. The Royal Classic Manual Typewriter offers an alternative to writing documents on computers and has a tactile quality that today’s digital processors lack. Working with a typewriter can feel foreign, as some typists are adept at typing on a manual typewriter, others are not, giving the strength is takes to type is much more than a computer keyboard. You may find this experience benefits your writing using this Classic vintage machine! Royal Classic Manual Typewriter is tested to work perfectly at production, there is a sheet of paper left on the platen roll with every letter and character typed on it. It is very important to note that the Royal Classic Manual typewriter is a machine made of hundreds of moving parts and it takes just one to bend or detach from an inadvertent impact that will affect the quality of type. Dust your typewriter regularly. Dust tends to slip under the typewriter keys. Make a regular habit of dusting your typewriter at least once a month. Make an effort to get between the cracks in the keys and sweep out any dust that may have accumulated and secure in its storage case.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
I bought the Royal to type index cards on for my filing system and research notation. The Laser printer cannot suffice for art creations. I don’t know that I would write a book on this typewriter. I think it would frustrate a real writer. But for making quick note, it’s really fun. It’s a great gift for someone trying to learn how to type, especially a young person or a person who knows how to type and they don’t want to do a lot they just wanna make a few notes. I’ve heard and read and watch many videos about the subject matter. The royal really is the best new one that you can buy of its class it’s available in a lot of colors. I just chose mint because it’s my favorite color . My brother chose black because it looks great with his industrial place. I just woke up morning and had the extreme need to have a mechanical typewriter and there it is… I’m happy with it. I think it’s important to bear in mind what it is and what is available right now for manufacturing these machines. And I’m looking forward to using it in my future art studio good luck, and I hope this answer some of your questions. I am on the lookout for vintage typewriter, That’s mechanical. But if you don’t wanna have to scour, thrift shops, consignment shops and antique Mart, the new Royal will get you there. I like this machine. Remember to buy extra type writer ribbons! Good luck happy typing.😇
