The first time I saw you change a ribbon with tweezers, I thought I would feel like a cub bear in boxing gloves if I tried that. Then I tried it by hand. When I got finished, I looked like I'd climbed out of a coal mine. I'm buying tweezers.

Thank you for this video! I have a portable 1937 Royal typewriter and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the ribbon wasn't working properly, I was doing everything right except I was threading the ribbon in front of the metal thingies instead of behind them like 2:54 says. I bought a new ribbon with purple and pink colors and they look great. Thank you for making our "antique" lives a little easier.

I have this exact model, and I thought it was interesting to read the owner's manual that came with it (which is very yellow, somewhat brittle and held together with tape..lol). It has a section titled "Rapid Ribbon Change", which reads as follows: "Your Royal Portable is equipped with a Rapid Ribbon Changer (8), a new type ribbon holder which enables you to thread or unthread the ribbons with one hand. " It goes on to give somewhat general guidance, but overall the process doesn't really look any different that what you do. So I'm not really sure how they came up with the name "Rapid Ribbon Changer." :)

I'm trying to find a video about how to cleans it

Is this the Henry Dreyfus design I've heard about? What year is this beauty?

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

My dream typewriter

[@Jesse_Phillips714]

I have this same machine. However the main spring just snapped and the shift linkage is broken somewhere and I have no way to fix it. For now it just lives on he shelf and look pretty.

[@rancosteel]

Do you think this model is better than a SC Sterling?

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

Completely different touch & feel, I like the Smith Coronas better But a good working QDL is great too . . . .

[@TypewriterMinutes]

Looks great. I like the looks of those Henry Dreyfuss machines. Especially the two-tones like that one.

[@MARIADELALUZHERNANDEZGATICA]

Greetings from Guadalajara Mexico. A question. Where is the number 1 on the keyboard located?. I have a typewriter like yours. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@wealthwisdom9454]

Most machines from this era were made without a 1 key; they expect you to use the lowercase letter L as the number 1. And for exclamation marks, you just type a period ( . ), then backspace, then type an apostrophe ( ' ). They did that to reduce the amount of parts and machinery inside the typewriter.

Hey there. How does one go about getting one of these type writers serviced? I have this exact model that I think was my grandfathers and I would love to be able to use it.

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

Thank you for this list link! I’m trying to get my moms Quiet DeLuxe a tune up for my sister and needed some real list for places in California.

[@VVEJZOVIC]

Thank you very very much. It's the only video I found clearly shows every step. I got toy version Codeg-litetouch Japanese from 1960s and I had to change the ribbon to original parts which I never tried before. Looks easy until you try but I believe I succeeded. Thank you again.

[@ElveyGooch]

Beautiful job. One question - my high school typing teacher told me never to type without a piece of paper in the machine. But I notice that you are doing it. Pros and cons? I assume he wanted to keep ink off the platen, but I'm not sure.

[@phoenixtypewriter2136]

Yup that's all, keep ink from transferring to roller, then you would have to clean roller....again.....but of course that what I do. You'll notice when I do type with ribbon in and no paper, I'm not striking key hard enough for slugs to hit platen
