it probably needs new feet too. I snagged a rubber urethane jeweler's pad off Amazon for $9 and it's enough for 4+ machines. Better than the $35 I saw online. The feet are just 1x1x1/2 in blocks. I cut them a hair big with a utility knife and many passes and sanded them to fit. Kinda messy.

Royal KMM KMG Typewriter Feet Spacers Original Smashed Rubber Replaced by [[Phoenix Typewriter]]
Squished rubber feet spacers on the Royal standard typewriters can cause interfere with the universal bar and when they do, they'll need replacement.
This is the same sort of interference seen on Olympia SM3s due to their squished/flattened rubber gaskets, though the symptoms are different.
"Phoenix typewriter. Have a Royal day!" <br /> A slightly different sign off from Duane's usual... :)

u/repschlerman recommend the rubber feet from https://www.ebay.com/usr/biermeister1 as good rubber replacements versus NOS and other options which has hardened over time.
