It types very well and came with extra ribbons. I purchased it in red and so beautiful to look at as well. It is well built, and also has the automatic spacing bar that my old typewriter didn't have. I like the way it was packaged to prevent any damage upon delivery too. If anyone is having problems with the ribbon when typing, just make sure the color switch on the right side is on the correct setting. It's worth the money spent. I have to give it 5 plus stars and would give more if it had a higher rating scale. Review: Don't take your chances - I read all of the poor reviews and still decided to purchase any as a Christmas gift for my 9-year-old son who really wanted an old-fashioned typewriter, mainly because there aren't many options out there and I felt like I should be able to trust what I thought was a reputable brand name. The ink that came installed was dried up like I had read, but I bought extra and the unopened one that came with it was fine. The problem was not that, but that the ink ribbon constantly bunches up while you're typing- like you can't type more than one sentence without it happening. Also, one of the paper advance knows fell off and there's no getting it back on. It types really light near the left margin and then darker as you move to the right. This was all within not even a day of use, mostly by me trying to get it to work properly. I'm returning it and not even going to bother asking for a replacement. You're better off keeping your eyes open at a flea market, garage sale, or estate sale for a true vintage one because this is junk. You can buy a brand new cheap laptop for the same price. ## Features - Royal Classic portable manual typewriter includes manual - Sturdy retro metal housing for durability - Pre-installed black/red ribbon, and paper support bar - Full size keyboard, 44 keys, 88 symbols and Pica 87 font - Spacebar repeat key, variable line spacing and ribbon selector ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SWV2QFT | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #171,733 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #37 in Typewriters | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Royal | | Brand Name | Royal | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 269 Reviews | | Drill Point | Broad | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022447791204 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Storage Case | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 18.2 x 16.9 x 7.7 inches | | Item Type Name | Classic Manual Typewriter (Red) | | Item Weight | 17.05 Pounds | | Line Size | 0_7mm | | Manufacturer | Royal | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | 79120Q | | Model Number | 79120Q | | Point Type | Broad | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home | | Style | Classic | | Theme | Vintage Writing Instrument | | UPC | 022447791204 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Royal - **Color:** Red - **Ink Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal ## Images ![79120q Classic Manual Typewriter (red) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sBPCy4-iL.jpg) ![79120q Classic Manual Typewriter (red) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sTA2DmMuL.jpg) ![79120q Classic Manual Typewriter (red) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yKNTl3iML.jpg) ![79120q Classic Manual Typewriter (red) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nY4SEnWHL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I needed *by I***I on January 9, 2024* This typewriter was just what I needed.

The cast aluminum body is of solid quality, the keys themselves are a very nice heavy resin, even the platen mechanism seems to be well made aside from the cheap-feeling plastic end-caps. The typewriter had significant key sticking issues out of the box that were solved with some lubrication and filing of the rough castings on the ends of the key levers. Other than that it WOULD be a fantastic typing machine , if it weren’t for these spacing errors that show up in seemingly random places. Basically this typewriter is great if you want to be a typewriter service technician, if you just want to type get a daisy wheel electric.
