Royal Royalite '64 Typewriter Review - End of a Dynasty

Based upon the Halberg Traveler, the Royalite had a long and prosperous run for Royal beginning in the mid-50's and ending, in 1963 with the Royalite '64.
The name went out with a bang. The limited edition Royalite '64 might just be the best Royalite, featuring a ribbon color selector and a "noble" grey paint scheme.

This is such a great size! I have a 1957 green Royalite. I just need to fix the caps function. As of now, it doesn't work as it should.

Thanks. Those early models with the green keys are nice. Try to troubleshoot as best you can by following the linkages. Sometimes there can be debris blocking the full motion of the carriage -- there are two pivots, one on each side of the rear of the machine, that control the motion. Sometimes the screws which tighten those pivots can be loosened a hair to allow more freedom of movement. Hard to know / diagnose remotely. good luck

Do you know why mine stops typing half way across the page, even though the margin is set several inches further? I can’t figure it out :(

[@1683clifton]

Mine doesn't move to the tension when you type. Any help? Someone said something about a drawband may be mistaken.
