I was inspired by Chris Aldrich’s post to purchase, clean, and repair an old typewriter. I never realized what marvels these things are. This instrument works just about as well as it did in the forties.
It makes me think about machines a bit differently.

@chrisaldrich Ha! I wouldn’t hold my breath for an Underwood sponsorship…
Royal has the best swag anyway…
What model and year is yours? Did you get a full identification on it? How’s it working out so far?
@chrisaldrich It’s a Remington De Luxe 5…a little confusing because Remington used several variations on that branding. But based on the S/N, I’m pretty sure it’s from 1948.
@chrisaldrich After cleaning and very slight bending of the type bars, it works extremely well. My kids have even mastered it.
