Royal Consumer Classic Retro Manual Typewriter (Pink)

This typewriter looks absolutely beautiful, however it would not actually type! The keys would print just parts of each character or number, if anything. I called for technical assistance and we checked into all our options. There wasn’t any way to fix the problem, because the ribbon was functioning normally; just the keys weren’t making the proper imprints. I was very sad, because the looks of this typewriter and the quality are seemingly outstanding otherwise. I loved the pink color! I wished the function would have been in order. I’m not sure if I just got a lemon, or if this was typical. The tech support person said that the problem had not been previously reported with other units of this type.
