I would love to see a Royal Safari and Royal Futura 800 escapement adjustment. I own both of these typewriters and they tend to bunch up the words or intermittently skip.

Hmm... so if i read this right, it seems like when the type ball was coming back to it's rest position, that bar hadn't yet gone back into place and it triggered an extra print, probably _at_ the rest position. So my bet is that the character normally facing the platen is the dash. (That, or it's next to the "t".) Very interesting issue to encounter!

I didn’t know there were companies still using typewriters! Very cool to hear that they’re still a part of society somewhere! Do you get much “commercial” work?

Here in Phoenix I am overwhelmed with "commercial" typewriter work, Most every company needs a typewriter for if anything, odd jobs, fill in a line on a form, type a label, anything that is 2 part NCR paper, index cards, address envelopes, file tabs, love notes, the list is endless. Some can and do get by without one and they aren't at every work station like they once were.
