woah this Stan Lee autographed reminginton noiseless sold for MUCH lower than I thought it would. only 255$ yikes, that seems low for the autograph alone—let alone the cost of the typewriter. (I’d hate to clean it, for fear of losing the signature ink)

I was tempted but I already own one typewriter and if I get two then I have to start to be a typewriter collector 😼

Hahahaha! I hear ya what do you own, currently? Is it an heirloom or something you picked out? I own 2, but looking for 1-2 more. Not to collect but to use. 😆

You know, I am not aware of what a platen sheet is— is your platen splitting? Or cracked? ribbon is fairly easy to source. I know we have a few running machines like yours at the shop. I’ll make you a video tomorrow. Do you have a manual for your machine? I can check our library as well, and see if we’ve scanned one in.

maybe i'm calling it the wrong thing--the backing sheet?? i feel like the strike of this typewriter is insanely strong (it almost embosses the paper!!) and maybe something softer behind the paper will cushion it?? i have bought 3 extra cartridges off ebay already b/c i was worried i won't be able to find them again i do have a manual and what i need is attention span XD
