Recently, the shop has been getting some attention by our local media. The Seattle Times, Kiro Radio 97.3 and the Kitsap Sun have all stopped by to inquire about typewriters. Mostly the conversation goes like this;

Interviewer: “So, you repair old stuff nobody makes or wants.” In unison Montgomery and Lundy: “Yep.”

Interviewer: “You and Mr. Montgomery seem quite taken with all this obsolete stuff, are you nuts?” In unison Montgomery and Lundy: “Yep.”

Interviewer: “Who the heck still uses typewriters and why?” Montgomery: “Crazy people mostly, just like us.” Lundy:  “Here, try your hand at typing. . .”

Interviewer: “Oh my golly, I never knew how wonderful expressing myself on a typewriter could be!” In unison Montgomery and Lundy: “Yep!”
