Do not ask me to evaluate typewriters.
Comments must be relevant to the post.
As the author of these posts, I make the decisions about what they contain - it is not open to discussion.
Very nice reference for basic parts identification and repairs.
ReplyDeleteHi Robert, I'm endeavouring to make contact with someone who will show/teach/mentor me through the process of writing my books on my manual type writer. Am willing to pay a reasonable fee for tuition.
ReplyDeleteI would be most grateful for your direction. My email contact: sunriseboy@outlook.com. hwardjuno@gmail is no longer!
And your posts on typewriters are food for the soul. Thank you.
Excellent post, thanks Robert. What a concept, everything (almost) you need to know to fix a typewriter, clearly written, all collected in one place. This probably covers 75% of the most common typewriter problems. Today, in the disambiguated internet age, I have to scavenger-hunt my way through cyberspace, following broken links and dropping into hidden dead-end rat holes in my quest for even a single piece of credible information. Ah, but the internet gives me back wonderful videos (thanks Duane, Joe, and others) to help ease the pain. So I guess the internet came along just in time to fill the gap left by all those closed typewriter repair shops and disappearing repairmen.
