Description:
Bought with the 1930 Underwood Portable.
It is in very good condition. I replaced the feed rollers with some from a parts machine and gave it a cleaning and several adjustments. Overall the typewriter is okay to type with, reliable for sure, but I cannot find a comfortable setting on the touch control. I am beginning to believe that these geared-type bar Remingtons are at their best without touch control.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
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.
