Description:
I got this to fix my first Remington thinking use it for parts and instead fixed it. I had a broken spring to replace, platen to sand down, rollers to sand down, the platen holder/knob controllers to smack with a hammer to straighten it out so the platen would move as it was dropped by the prior owner, sanding the keystrikers so they type smoothly. It really needed a cleaning job as there was so much hair in this one and little bugs.
It has its original box which is easier to close unlike the earlier predecessor.
I’m thinking I’ll part with this one eventually as I only want to have one Remington Portable. But I am happy it works as it should, brought back from the dead.

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.
