HERE IS A NICE BROWN FAUX WOOD GRAIN PAINTED ROYAL PORTABLE TYPEWRITER WITH THAT ELUSIVE VOGUE TYPE STYLE. THE TYPEWRITER IS A PICA, OR 10 PITCH MACHINE. I HAVE JUST CHEMICALLY CLEANED THE MACHINE AND IT IS WORKING GREAT. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS P261358. THE KEY LETTERS ARE THE ORIGINAL "TEA" COLORED ONES IT SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH. IT HAS A NEW PLATEN, HOWEVER IT IS NOT THE SOFTEST. IT IS ONE OF MY LAST PLATENS I HAD RECOVERED BEFORE AMES CL...OSED THEIR DOORS. WITH A HARD PLATEN IT IS BEST TO USE A COUPLE OF BACKING SHEETS BEHIND THE ONE YOU ARE TYPING ON. THE RIBBON THAT IS ON THE MACHINE NOW IS A HEAVY INKED RIBBON, BUT IT WAS ALL I HAD AT THE TIME I TYPED ON IT. AT THE TIME OF THIS LISTING, I DO NOT HAVE A CARRY CASE THAT IS VERY STURDY, BUT MAY HAVE BY THE TIME THIS AUCTION ENDS. IT IS NOT BEING LISTED AS HAVING ONE.
THE MACHINE WILL BE SHIPPED FROM ZIP CODE 87110, IN A DOUBLE WALLED BOX MEASURING 19X19X13 INCHES AND WEIGHING 16 POUNDS.
The type sample looks like it is uneven, when actually the wave is caused by the paper bail rollers slid to the outside of the paper so as not to hide the typed print. There is a buckle in the paper that can not be seen with the bright white background.
