Description:
Goodwill find. Sought one out after seeing JVC review on YT. I agree with his comments in the review. Had to fix the tabulator and line stop. Escapement timing is the next issue as there is some pile-on of letters. I haven't tracked that one down yet but the trip doesn't happen until the slug is hammering on the anvil. Some letters are worse than others. Came without a case.

Can't figure out humans but I can tinker with mechanical things. Typewriter passion has become nearly an obsession. Keep a spreadsheet of my collection and rotate daily typer occasionally to exercise the herd. All my machines are cleaned, lubed, adjusted and in working order. My mentors are local shop owners in PDX.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Remington Monarch on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Remington Serial Number page and the Remington Monarch By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
