Detailed Condition Note
The aesthetic is in perfect condition, with the original industrial Slate Gray matte finish looking impeccably clean, crisp, and uniform. Mechanically, it operates flawlessly. The keystroke is deep, tactile, and highly responsive, typical of Royal’s premium portable lines. Every feature, including the margin sets, paper feed, and dual-color ribbon switching (Black and Red), has been calibrated to perfection. It comes nestled inside its original vintage gray plastic case, which is fully intact and snaps securely shut.
