Description:
This is my pride and joy that I lucked into at a Goodwill. It is cosmetically beautiful and types like a dream. It suffers from flat paper feed rollers, however, and a return lever that does not advance the paper. It is also occasionally quirky in returning one space before the previous line or not advancing and so typing in the same spot. It is so very occasional that I have no idea why. Still, it functions perfectly 95% of the time and I really enjoy typing on it. I have cleaned it and given it new feet. I will continue to work on it as I get better at repair.

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 Model 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Model 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
