Mercantile Typewriter – Understrike

By

Remington “Home” Portable Typewriter

By

This customer machine is in the shop for a much needed tune up. It has been in the customers family for a very long time. Made in the UK, it is a fine example of a 1937 Remington. These are quite simple machines, manual ribbon reverse, no right margin stop and no bell. Typical of the Remington portables it needed paper rollers. The line space roller had broken off the machine so I found the same on one of the poor parts machines. The ribbon … [Read more...]

By

Nothing special here. Just your classic Underwood 5 typewriter from the year 1927. This is a customer machine in for some well needed deferred maintenance. Dusty, sluggish, ribbon vibrator frozen, and paper rollers all goobered up. A good cleaning, oiling, new rollers and some adjustments and this doggy is back typing. I like the looks of the older open frame machines. The mechanics are typewriter art. … [Read more...]
