Help with my first typewriter

[saharanights-33]

I'm new to typewriters and just got an old Royal from a flea market. It looks nice, but the keys are stuck and the ribbon is missing. I've never fixed one before, so I'm learning as I go.

Does anyone know easy guides or videos for cleaning and putting in a new ribbon? I'm not ready for big repairs, I just want it to type again. Thanks for any help!

The ribbons are easy and you can still order universal ones online and just wind them onto the old spools if needed. There are plenty of YouTube walkthroughs for cleaning a Royal typewriter

That's what I did myself for my ribbons on of my typewriters
