Review: Quality - Works very well have always liked Royal products
Review: Don’t Waste Your Money - The typewriter was not in functioning condition on arrival. The top cover could not be opened if ribbon needed replacing and we followed directions correctly as was verified by calling company. The roller just spun so there was no line spacing. Second call to company we were told we needed a very special tool to fix it but they wouldn’t be able to tell us how to do it. It’s a $300 piece of junk! Extremely disappointing!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are replacement ribbons easy to find for this? 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.
