    Re: Old Typewriter

    If the typewriter is not repair worthy, the keys alone are worth $30-50 to crafters who make jewelry from them.

    I think all it needs is ink, I didn't know about the jewelry making.

    I don't recall ever seeing a typewriter with the carrage return on the right side. When in good condition, these old Remingtons were really smooth operating machines.

    I guess they were 'top of the line' for their time.

    Looks like it is missing the power cord.
    Where do you plug in the monitor?

    A very nice fine. I paid $55 for the exact same one at an antique store. And while the jewelry is cool, if it still functions it just isn't worth mangling such a beautiful machine.
