Description:
Number 12. This Remington Quiet Riter with Elite typeface was found on SGW and came packed very well. The case was in rough shape, but all the typewriter needed was a cleaning, a new ribbon ring and a slight escapement adjustment - the A and the Q weren't always tripping it and I wonder if the bar is bent. The red still prints slightly black, but not so much that I want to mess with it. The platen is very soft and with backing paper it is the quietest of all the typewriters I have.
This will be going to a friend eventually so he can use it when we write each other.
