Or send it in.
Drop-off is by appointment. For mail-in work, wait for our packing instructions and shipping details before sending the machine.
How drop-off and mail-in workA first typewriter, for someone else
Start with the person,
not the paint color.
Will it stay on a desk or travel in a case? Would the recipient enjoy a firmer key action? A complete, working manual machine is a kinder first gift than a repair project.
Allow 2–3 weeks after approval for cleaning, or 4–6 weeks for parts work, plus shipping time. Tell us the gift date before buying a machine that needs repair.
