Description:
Silver Reed 750. This is my second 750. I picked this one up at a local GoodWill for $2. It is very similar to the Royal Mercury, but has a repeat spacer.
This machine required a bit of cleaning and the carriage needed to be aligned as well. It writes very well now.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Silver Reed 750 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Silver Reed Serial Number page and the Silver Reed 750 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
