I am a
factory-trained technician with more than five decades of experience
. All my machines include the teardown and reassembly of each machine which is meticulously cleaned, with full lubrication and reassembled to manufacturer specifications. Consider that buying a fully refurbished typewriter alleviates any repair for the foreseeable future.
You can expect prices to continue to rise in the future on professionally refurbished machines because of the scarcity of local, factory-trained typewriter repairmen and the machines themselves. Logically, professionally refurbished typewriters will be the better investment long term.
I perform a 6-8 hour mechanical refurbishment process on each machine, which is nearly total tear down of each machine, and I then do a full cleaning and lubrication and reassembled to manufacturer specs.
FLAT RATE SHIPPING via FedEx ground (continental USA only) EXPERTLY PACKED in a sturdy shipping container that protects both the carrying case but also the precision machine inside.   Check out my feedback and see what the repeat buyers are saying about my refurbished typewriters.
