Typewriters and related materials for sale in store or online.
The end goal is to encourage an appreciation of history, and to cultivate an interest in the preservation, restoration, and use of antique typewriters as a tool for business and creativity.
In addition to this, I wish to help foster a community of creative individuals seeking unique outlets for artistic expression.
Each machine is carefully worked to a high industry standard ensuring both the preservation of the machine, as well as mechanical functionality to the fullest possible extent; including flexible attention to details and a level of care that is tailored to suit every client’s varied and unique needs, lifestyles, and workflows.
Site Navigation: On mobile, there will be a dropdown menu on the upper left of the screen. On desktop you can select from the open menu on the top right. For typewriter repair, visit the link for typewriter repair. Social media links are at the very bottom.
A note about the waitlist: There is currently a high volume of people waiting for their typewriters to be repaired. This type of work is detail-oriented and time consuming, so the waitlist can easily span several months. I do not rush through the work I do, and strive to ensure that every machine that leaves my shop has been taken care of to the highest possible standards. The customer on the workbench always comes first. Thank you for your patience and understanding! I may not get to your machine soon, but I will eventually. If you can’t wait, there is a time and a half charge added for express service.

UPDATES
Here’s why I stopped working for six months:
Between February and July 2024, I have been working to build out, move into, and open a brick and mortar typewriter shop. It took a lot of work to pack things up, a lot of organization, and a lot of…well…money. So to everyone who patiently waited for me, thank you so very much. And thank you for your support as well. I’ve been fixing typewriters for ten years now, and I hope I can make it happen for another ten. The new space should help me move repairs faster, get more machines for sale, AND allow for some on-the-spot adjustments and repairs so you guys aren’t waiting with broken typewriters longer than you need.
