Thanks!** A: FJA Products in Amazon sells them for $9.50, and is an American made company and are always willing to work with customers, that support and American made product! **Q: Line spacing cannot change** A: You can change from 1 to 1.5 to 2. Just like a regular manual typewriter. **Q: This royal tywriter 79119 q how i can get a registration card for the warranty** A: did not ask for the registration card. Sent the typewriter back. I thought it was poor quality and had problems getting it to work properly. Good luck! **Q: How do you change the ribbon?** A: 1) Remove the ribbon cover by pulling it back toward you. 2) Set the shift lock and move the ink setting to red. 3) Push up two typebars from opposite sides until they wedge in place near where they strike the platen. 4) Remove one ribbon spool by pulling the ribbon-holding finger out of the way, then lifting up on the spool. 5) Repeat on the other side, then remove the ribbon from the ribbon vibrator up near the platen. Take note of how the ribbon is threaded through the vibrator because you'll need to put the new ribbon in the same way. Do these steps in reverse order with a new ribbon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Royal Consumer Information Products Classic Retro Manual Typewriter (Black), Model Number: 79104P - FJA Products Royal Quiet Deluxe Twin Spool Combo Pack Typewriter Ribbon - 2 Pack - 4 Pairs Universal Typewriter Ribbon Twin Spool Ribbon Twin Spool Replacement Pack for Most Typewriter(Red, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/112583534-royal-consumer-information-products-classic-retro-manual-typewriter-black-model](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/112583534-royal-consumer-information-products-classic-retro-manual-typewriter-black-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
