I have a newly acquired Remington Noiseless 6. The plastic cover over the noiseless mechanism has a crack. Any ideas on which glue to use to repair it? It's...
... My understanding is that you should apply superglue to each side of the crack. Let the plastic melt just a little before pushing the two sides together. ...
... I have one of those with much worse damage to the lid, which is bakelite and cast rather thin. You might prevent any further spreading of the crack by...
Hi, this is Whitney, and it's my first post. Nice to meet all of you. I've had a love affair with portable typewriters for quite a while and recently restored...

I *love Remingtons. All their machines have at lease one off-the-wall feature. I haven't seen the early 12 so I didn't know about the "crosslinked" linespace...
Thanks for the offer, Don, I'll take you up on it. Well, first, I'd like to know how expensive it will be to ship the monster. It's a heavy thing. I'd like...
Anybody have a Remington Noiseless 10 (desktop) parts machine? I need one of the screws that holds the plastic top to the machine. I'm also looking for a...
Well, it's just a small contest that I've thought up. See what you think. Here it is. If you could name the type writer what you thought was the best name...
I live in south Texas, and they don't use maquina de escribir, they use scribidora. I am a medical worker and we find Mexicans all the time who don't...
I found a couple of books that I had put aside during a cleanout when our existing company took over an old typewriter business. One is an original Imperial...
AHK!!! You can tell how bad my Spanish is!! Yes, it should be 'maquina'!!! Marty ... use scribidora. I am a medical worker and we find Mexicans all the time...

Hi. Bitten by the bug, and not exactly mechanically inclined. Nevertheless, I am determined to learn how to take a typewriter apart and put it back together in...
... I took one apart once, but with no hope of putting it back together. Sequential photos and labelled parts storage have been recommended. A diary might help...

Not specifically in this order but probably quite close... - no doubt others will have their suggestions but those that have actually done it will have most to...
WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, huh? What a lead-in for a wee essay. I'm totally blind so I have no choice but to, as it were, work with my eyes closed. From what I...
All exactly right. Add notes, notes, notes in the order you took apart. Then reverse them to disassemble. Make a book out of the photos and...

Sorry, but I believe the right Spanish translation for pace maker is "marcapasos" o "marca pasos" ??? The portatil typewriter could be "maquinita" o in spain...
