Description:
Unexceptional Quiet-Riter that I passed on rather than take the trouble to clean. This model is currently by far the easiest to find in my area, and while I appreciate its workhorse quality--Quiet-Riters seem second only to Olympia SG1s in their ability to keep going after decades of neglect and abuse--I don't enjoy the aesthetics or its distinctive whirr and clack.

Resident of Portland, Oregon since 2015. Mostly interested in semi-portables of the '30s, '40s, and '50s (the late glass key top through late pre-electric eras), with a special interest in unusual or distinctive typefaces other than techno and script. Always learning!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Quiet-Riter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Quiet-Riter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
