Royal Apollo 10 Electric. Not that much bigger and heavier than a Brother JP-1. Silent as a mouse in operation. No motor noise at all.

  1. That smile sticker made me think of “Please be kind. Rewind.” Did you make sure to rewind your Apollo?

    1. well, I wound it’s cord when I put it away. :D

  2. I like the look and “the sound” of the Apollo, looks like it should have a built-in radio like some of those Silver-Seiko built Royals have. :)

    1. Yes! It should indeed!

      A bit saddening that it’s electric, although it still has actual typeslugs. It does look like fun!
