Description:
On permanent loan from a friend. Works quite well except the platen and rollers are malformed and hard as a rock from age and disuse. I gave the keys and type a good scrub but otherwise this is how it was presented to me.

I started collecting typewriters in the '90s, lost or gave away many through the years, and am in collecting mode again. I like to learn about cleaning and fixing them, as I am an active user, mostly for Poetry on Demand, where people pay me to write poems for them at art fairs and whatnot. I have mostly portables but have acquired one or two desktop models I couldn't pass up.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
