1971 Remington (Brother) Performer Serial # F1479641 1971 Remington (Brother) Performer typewriter, Serial # F1479641 Davina Lobato's 1971 Remington (Brother) Performer typewriter. 2023-11-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Davina Lobato: 1971 Remington (Brother) Performer Serial # F1479641 I got this because of the repeat spacer that made it stand out. It came with documents and the seller sold this for a lot because of that. I realised I paid a lot for nothing as it arrived with all those documents soaked in coffee which made me regret buying. The plus was it still works but then I noticed why they covered part of the keys as they were melted into which is why I replaced the original black keys with white ones from a brother typewriter.

I think the white keys definitely go with it more than the original black keys. So maybe them being melted was a blessing?

I’m a creative individual. I recently started buying typewriters after seeing the Remington portable online. I found one but the Remington I bought was broken on arrival aka not as described with loads of problems. I just kept buying junkers to use parts from to fix my Remington and instead kept fixing the ones not meant to be fixed somehow thanks to the videos online posted by the Phoenix Typewriter. Now it’s an addiction I cannot seem to stop at the moment with an office full of typewriters. I have my fingers crossed I will use them to type a book and not just look at them.
