Royal Futura 800 Typewriter 

The bell on mine does not work. Do you know how to get it to work?

Interesting observation about the foam sound-deadening panels…it was a cheapening of materials at the factory, I would imagine, but at least the manufacturer put the denser and better material on the back, where the carriage moves. Thanks for the video! I just acquired a pink & grey 1959(?) Futura 800, luckily it has the better-quality sound material. Cleaned and serviced it, but winding the drawband is a pain. Still, it’s a unique-looking, American-made machine, definitely worth restoring

Ken Why did Royal cut corners, LITTON INDUSTRIES,

Will you sell copies of the products manuals? I have the same typewriter, but it did not come with the manuals?

What type of ribbon you use?
