1921 Corona Folding Portable 3 is Sooo cute

January 3, 2025 By Paul

We recently bought this Corona 3 portable, and the typewriter is from the year 1921. I like the older Corona machines. This one is serial number 400144. I think we'll put this in the queue for the apprentice to explore. I love the old Hollywood Typewriter Shop sticker under the carriage. Hollywood, so chic. … [Read more...]

We’ve Got GOLD In Them Thar Hills

April 28, 2024 By Paul

I've seen plenty Royal Dreyfuss Quiet DeLuxe typewriters that are the gold metal plated anniversary edition. Well . . . in photos on the interwebs. Pretty snazzy. I've never had one actually walk into the shop until today. Our friend Ray Montgomery in Astoria ran into some nice folks who shared this gold typewriter with him. Well he got all giddy on them. Got those folks all excited about what they possessed. I'm certainly happy they … [Read more...]

1958 Vertical Script Smith-Corona

April 26, 2024 By Paul

Greg brought us this 1958 Vertical Script Smith-Corona for a new platen, paper rollers and a cleaning and tune up. I like how common the model that hides such type face delights. You don't see many Vertical Script type faces. I think Smith-Corona did a fine job with this one. The new platen made a huge difference in print quality and reduced niose. 5T747949X … [Read more...]

This 1928 Remington Typewriter has Wings

April 18, 2024 By Paul

This customer machine is a hefty thirty inch wide beast. From the Mason County Historical Society, the typewriter needed a good cleaning, new rubber feet and the paper bale rollers needed replacing. It took a bit of maneuvering at the solvent cleaning station to get everything cleaned. Man this guy is heavy. Screw this one to your desk top or it will FLY AWAY! … [Read more...]

1941 Smith-Corona Portable Music Writer

April 7, 2024 By Paul

Look at what came into the shop for service and a new platen. A 1941 Smith-Corona 3A Sterling Speedline portable typewriter with a custom music keyboard. This is well before the Music Print Corporation came into existence.  People still craved typewriters to do specific jobs and ordered custom layouts. I thought, as I was looking at this beauty, if Taylor Swift used a typewriter to craft her art. . . This would be the one. Lyrics, notes, … [Read more...]

Sucha Nice Remington Model 7 Noiseless Typewriter

October 19, 2023 By Paul

This is a customer typewriter in for service. Not used for decades and stored in all the right places. Really, it came to us in pretty much the condition you see in the photos. All of us in the shop said Wow, just Wow. What the typewriter really needed was a good solvent cleaning and all the rubber stuff replaced. We replaced the hard rubber feet, the sorta flat paper rollers and the brittle rubber tab rest. I like these "desktop" … [Read more...]

This Must be IBM Selectric Month

September 17, 2023 By Paul

It is funny how typewriters seem to come into the shop in groups. Apparently, this is IBM Selectric typewriter month. We have so many Selectrics lined up for service and repair!  Many have deteriorated drive belts and cracked cycle clutch main gears. Also, the main electric drive motor, the drive clutch and main power switch all need to be pulled apart and serviced. We see a lot of plastic fatigue, with plastic items falling apart. Pretty … [Read more...]

Love the Remington Pioneer Typewriter

April 24, 2023 By Paul

A customer machine in for service, this is a fine example of the Remington Pioneer typewriter. Gotta love the ALL CAPS plus no margins, no carriage return arm, no bell, no back space no this no that no other distractions. JUST TYPE TYPE TYPE! The type impression was fading on the bottom. How to adjust? loosen the carriage mounts and slide the carriage either to the rear or front. Tighten the screws, you are done. … [Read more...]
