Description:
This I got thinking I would have to fix loads with it as the seller didn’t know how to use it so I bought it knowing I may have to find parts for it. Turns out I only need to work on two things. One was alignment so the letters weren’t wonky which I fixed. Now it’s just fixing the (set-tab-clear ) knob on the left side.
I do like how sturdy this feels and the box as I push a single button to open it which I’ve not seen before. It’s feeling like it’s going to become my favourite to use.

I’m a creative individual. I recently started buying typewriters after seeing the Remington portable online. I found one but the Remington I bought was broken on arrival aka not as described with loads of problems. I just kept buying junkers to use parts from to fix my Remington and instead kept fixing the ones not meant to be fixed somehow thanks to the videos online posted by the Phoenix Typewriter. Now it’s an addiction I cannot seem to stop at the moment with an office full of typewriters. I have my fingers crossed I will use them to type a book and not just look at them.
