I became interested in the ingenious, reliable and practical mechanical design of early 20th century antique typewriters. These wonderful machines are fun to repair and very enjoyable to write with.
Here you will find photos of the finished typewriters, platen repair how-to photos, drawings of rubber feet, and galleries of the steps I took to repair two Underwood 3 Bank Portable Typewriters, and one Corona 3 Folding Typewriter.
