    Life, Unplugged

    (2nd submission) while reading guidlines it seemed to have disappeared. I appreciate being able to do work without all the trappings of being online, where you worry about privacy. There is a safe feeling in being unplug. Thank you for a less complicated product still being offered and available.

    Typewriter

    My wife is loving her typewriter so far it seems to be easy to use no issues so far thank God she's been wanting it for a long time now. The price was on the high end which sucks because I'm paying extra just for the color.

    IT'S PURPLE!!!

    I LOVE IT! Granted, I have always wanted a purple vintage looking typewriter mostly as decor for my office, however, this machine is made very well and it's a pretty sturdy typewriter! As a matter of fact, for fun, I have started typing my latest novel on it!

    Excellent starter machine

    Not really sure why people give this such bad reviews. I’ve been typing on it for over a week now, and it works great! If you’re looking for some that is as clean as Microsoft Word, you’re barking up the wrong tree. If you’re looking for something to help you craft messy and wonderful first draft, this is it!

Questions & Answers

  • Does it have the ability to correct and what do I need to make corrections?

    It does NOT have the ability to correct. To fix a mistake use correction fluid or correction tape over the mistake. Let DRY completely then type on the fixed area what you intended to type the first time. NOTE: MUST let corrected area dry completely before typing over it. If area is not dry you'll need to get the letters cleaned. Hope this helps.

  • What brand of ribbons does it use as I would like to order ribbons when I order the typewriter? Also does Best Buy Offer a warranty with this product? Thank you

    Hello Bella, The ribbon for the Classic typewriter takes our part number 7331525 that you will be able to find at Royal.com. This is a ½” black and red spooled ribbon. If you were to purchase a Universal ½” typewriter ribbon it should work, but unfortunately it depends on the maker of the ribbon. Royal Support Team

  • Compared to a computer what size will the letters be on paper

    Font size are not 'selectible' as with computer, however it is a standard readable type size. I think around the 10 0r 12 font size selection.
