Description:
I found this machine at an antique mart. It was one of my first finds. I spent weeks trying to extract the broken drawband from under the spring, where it had wedged itself. It was my first time unscrewing parts to gain access. Fortunately, the spring was fine and after replacing the drawband and doing a good cleaning, this little guy works like a champ.

I lucked into a 1938 Remington Rand 5 at a thrift store a while back and the rest is history! Typewriter fever has led me to the Typosphere, where I am working to further my knowledge of these fabulous machines. (My husband calls it "Typewriter Porn".) Remingtons are still my brand of choice!
