A quick note on vintage typewriters:These lovely old machines are full of character, and like all vintage items they may need the occasional small tweak or adjustment as they’re used. Buyers should be happy to do a little basic day-to-day care and be willing to look up simple maintenance tips online from time to time. With a bit of patience and curiosity, vintage typewriters can be very rewarding to own and use.
