I'm a toothbrush devotee too. I think when you get using them (though mine's a KHM) the reasons for their popularity - and so still plentiful today - speaks for itself. I was wondering if the 10 had a different ribbon advance to the later Royals. The movement of the carriage (not the type levers or ribbon vibrator) winds the ribbon forwards and backwards.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19901072.post-11164401811374623072012-05-15T23:35:28.489-07:002012-05-15T23:35:28.489-07:00by "one year off" I mean specifically wi...by "one year off" I mean specifically with Royals. I believe it's off on a few other manufacturers as well, but I haven't determined which ones or by how much.
