1934 Royal 10 Serial # S-1638768 1934 Royal 10 typewriter, Serial # S-1638768 Davina Lobato's 1934 Royal 10 typewriter. 2023-10-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Davina Lobato: 1934 Royal 10 Serial # S-1638768 My first typewriter. I got it thinking this is the only one I want. My girlfriend took me to a typewriter shop straightaway to clean and fix it. Once I started using it I realized my obsession was only beginning. Once I got it home five months later on July 4th weekend I found it kept skipping and took it back to the shop on the 24th. After the shop keeper kept saying I “must have dropped it”, “it was fine before it left the shop” etc., he kept it overnight. The next day I was told it was a bur of metal stuck to the teeth underneath the carriage that needed sanding. Now it works perfectly. Therefore a happy ending. Next time I have a problem I’ll go to the Phoenix Typewriter Guy, lesson learned.

My first typewriter. I got it thinking this is the only one I want. My girlfriend took me to a typewriter shop straightaway to clean and fix it.

I’m a creative individual. I recently started buying typewriters after seeing the Remington portable online. I found one but the Remington I bought was broken on arrival aka not as described with loads of problems. I just kept buying junkers to use parts from to fix my Remington and instead kept fixing the ones not meant to be fixed somehow thanks to the videos online posted by the Phoenix Typewriter. Now it’s an addiction I cannot seem to stop at the moment with an office full of typewriters. I have my fingers crossed I will use them to type a book and not just look at them.
