Description:
This was a 'smashed typewriter. 4 keys were bent (2 still are) and the type bars will not sit flat at rest, only one-way ribbon-advance.. Most would pass. Now the good news. The platen is still soft. The steel is top quality, no rust anywhere. One of my favorite typewriters. Type feel is buttery, almost Olympia & Hermes type feel.

Born and raised less than a quarter mile from The Noiseless factory in Middletown, CT. I've fought with the why. Why do I like typewriters when I always was interested in 'tech'. I guess for their day, they were high tech. I've acquiesced that for me the "Rube Goldberg" nature of complex mechanics is the main draw.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington All-New on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington All-New By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
