The internet has everything these days.

Originally I was worried that I was going to have to do this without any guidance at all. I mean, can twenty-first century solutions be applied to nineteenth century hardware.

But the internet has, once again, provided exactly the niche media I need. But this time, I can share that without fear of being judged.

Scratch that. I’m sure you think differently about me now that you know I’m into touching hundred year olds.

Found the operator’s manual.

And a master list of Royal Repair Parts. Dated from March 1960, it still lists parts for the Model 10.

And the Repair manual for Royal machines. It appears to cover more than just the Model 10, but should be a huge help to me.

With a bachelors degree in history, I turn wrenches for a living. I’m most at peace when I hear the wind in the trees or the gurgle of a brook. I’m a believer in the Renaissance Man, as epitomized by DaVinci engineer, artist, soldier, statesman. As Heinlein said, “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
