Description:
I bought this Remington 5 (streamliner) at an antique mall in Springfield, Ohio, and proceeded to use it with a USB-typewriter adapter kit for use with my computer. It works... okay. The novelty wears off pretty quickly, so it doesn't get all that much use. Still fun to break out every once in a while to play with. Blue LED light strip added to the inside for night-time typing as well.
