Lately I've been inspired by Typewriter Fever's re-painted typewriters. Recently, someone on Facebook shared glitter painted typewriters! There are plenty of machines that are as regrettable as a margarita blender with no ice and yet type real nice. I tried tomato RED on a Smith-Corona and it turned out pretty good. I have IBM Selectric typewriters stacked like cord wood in the back shop and pulled out two to try the magic of new paint. With … [Read more...]

What does Budweiser have to do with Typewriters?
This article is a bit far away from typewriters. Some of my more endearing customers bring interesting things for me to repair. I cannot turn them away, especially when it is an advertising gizmo that lights up and rotates! The rotating beer sign was a bit unbalanced and it turns out the rotation motor gears were stripped. Fortunately, there is a huge fan base on the interwebs for beer signs. HUGE! I found the direct replacement for the … [Read more...]

Brosette Number 4
I got the trio of Brosettes all ready for pick up and this delightful Brosette typewriter from the year 1953 shows up for service. The machine itself needed the right side ribbon feed repaired. It is pretty straight forward to remove the ribbon feed assembly and repair. Then it was just some minor service. Mostly the typewriter case needed work. New rubber feet and a new leather handle. I could not find an escutcheon that was close to the … [Read more...]
Smith-Corona Classic 12 Cyrillic Typeface – For Sale $455
This is a near perfect Smith-Corona Classic 12 typewriter featuring a Cyrillic typeface at 10 CPI. It types very nice, leaving a nice dark imprint. It comes complete with the carrying case, manual and warranty information. The warranty paperwork is not filled out, spanking new. Since this machine comes with the newer style plastic case, I'd say it is most likely from the year 1980. 6LTV615777 For Sale $455 … [Read more...]

A wonderful Trio of Brosettes
I love my typewriter collectors as they bring in some very interesting machines. These three Brosette portables are from one of my favorite collector guys. You do not get the opportunity to have a Brosette typewriter from West Germany in many collections. I'd only seen photos. It was a real hoot to have three in the shop all in one swoop. According to the notes in typewriterdatabase.com these lovelies were manufactured between 1953 and … [Read more...]
