1968 Royal Custom Typewriter | Old Bob's Old Typewriters

Check out this 1968 Royal Custom Typewriter brought in by a customer for repair, cleaning and general maintenance. In this video I go through the typewriter, clean it up, do repairs and give a general overview of the features of this typewriter.

The Royal Custom has exclusive features like Magic Margin, Magic Column Set, Magic Meter and originally had a "Twin-Pak" 10 second ribbon for easy changing. All the features are out front as part of its fingertip control panel.

It would touted as the "quietest Royal portable ever built!"
