Description:
I got this little guy off eBay recently and am working to restore it to full health. The carriage gets stuck sometimes at either end and the platen has minor cracks. There is an alignment issue with the ribbon (red bleeds into black). I fixed the drawband, bent two keys back into alignment, cleaned it (very dirty!), and replaced the ribbon and feet. Everything else looks good.

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!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Portable 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Portable 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
