Royal 'O' vs. Quiet De Luxe
Are the platens for 1937 Royal 'O' and 1942 Royal Quiet De Luxe compatible?

Yes, the platens and feed rollers on the main models of Royal portables are compatible from the 'P' through at least the 50's Quiet De Luxe. I am not sure about some of the budget models, but all A,B,O, and P models are compatible from the 20's though at least 1957. I have swapped them quite a few times.

Thank you for your reply. My current ‘O’ platen I found inconsistent diameter from left to right. Short of getting it redone, which would include the core I’m afraid, for $85 plus, I’m going to swap it out with a QDL platen.

This is good information to know. If I need it, there it is.
