Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Heres my other new Royal flatbed!
Excellent packing, but still a few things got shuffled up a bit. Nothing a little JB Weld can't fix!
Also the linkages for the ribbon switch and backspace mechanism are missing, but a wire coat hanger would make a great replacement.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Two flatbeds?! I've never even laid my own eyes on one...

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Well, the touch is very light, thats for sure!
You should see the new one now, its all polished, waxed, etc.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Really? I would have thought that the touch would have been a bit heavier or not as refined as the later Royal standards because it is from the early 20th century. But then again, I do enjoy the touch of my Royal 10 more than my later Royals.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Well, ever type on a Remington Standard 10?
Much lighter than that.
Every type on an Underwood 5?
Id say about 1.5 times as heavy as the touch on that.
But its lighter than I thought.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
I can't seem to find anything other than Royals where I live... So means I must go out of state to find even a single Underwood. And I can't afford that
