1938 Remington Model 5 Serial # B41575 1938 Remington Model 5 typewriter, Serial # B41575 Gerald Ambrose's 1938 Remington Model 5 typewriter. 2024-06-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1938 Remington Model 5 Serial # B41575 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.
