The first thing I did on the machine was cleaning up all the dust collected inside its mechanisms during the last 90 years. The only problems were some scratches on the right ribbon spool cover and the color lever which cannot be set in the stencil position.
Overall the typewriter was in very good shape: the keyboards where all working and even the case handle made in leather (rare for a machine of almost 90 years) was on its place. A black Royal Portable from 1930 with an italian layout keyboard complete with its wooden case. At the end my choice fell on the Royal and I was lucky enough to find one in my town in pretty good conditions. I had a couple of models in mind, a Remington Portable type 3 and a Royal Portable. The typewriter at the 2017 Maker Faire in Rome The Royal Portable Typewriterīefore starting the project, I had to find a typewriter.
