1934 Remington Portable Model 5

1934 REMINGTON PORTABLE MODEL 5

A delight to the eyes and to the fingers! A truly fun and impressive machine.

EXTERIOR + CASE: The case comes with the original key, which is very cool looking. The case is sturdy but worn. Also, I do not recommend trusting the clasp on the case, it can pop open so please carry the typewriter by hold the bottom instead of by the handle. The exterior of the typewriter is beautiful. There is chipping of the paint along the bottom bar under the space bar (please see images). Otherwise, it's a stunner!

PERFORMANCE: Let's just say that this person is impressed with the performance on the Model 5. I haven't touched keys with this good of a bounceback in a long time and it was an immense pleasure to be able to touch these keys. It is a performance and flow that I do not come across often. If you have petite hands or you want a machine that is easy on the fingers, you want this typewriter because it feels like it's helping you type. 😁 

Watch the demo video for my full review and I also recommend that you watch the tutorial video I made for it because it does operate differently than most machines.

➡️ NOTE: THIS TYPEWRITER DOES NOT USE A UNIVERSAL RIBBON. IT HAS A SPECIALTY SPOOL. WE'VE INSTALLED NEW RIBBON but when it's time to change, the ribbon must be hand wrapped on the existing spools.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, new ribbon. Free shipping.

OPTIONAL 6-MO WARRANTY

With the warranty option, we will cover any mechanical issues NOT mentioned in the listing or demo video and are a result of regular daily use for 6 months starting from the day our tracking information shows that the typewriter was delivered. We recommend taking out your typewriter immediately and testing it for any issues.

This warranty covers any MECHANICAL/OPERATIONAL issues that occur in the course of normal use. Examples: keys sticking/not operational, carriage no longer works due to a broken drawband or other issue, a space bar stops working, the paper feed rollers no longer pull in the paper, etc. It also covers motor failure on electric typewriters. These are some examples of common issues with typewriters and not an exhaustive list of coverage.

 This warranty does NOT cover damage from misuse, food or drink spills, being dropped, or other accidental damage. Damage such as bent or broken parts is not covered (unless it is as a result of shipping). It also does not cover water damage or anything that arises out of an accident or improper use. Paint or exterior damage is not covered either.

 IMPORTANT! Do NOT attempt to repair the typewriter yourself. Any effort at repair on your part VOIDS THIS WARRANTY! This includes opening the bottom or side panels or accessing the mechanics and making adjustments. Please contact us first, and Rob will guide you as to what to do.

We will always attempt to address issues over the phone or email first. After that, if the problem has not been resolved, we'll give you instructions for returning the typewriter for repair. If there are damages as a direct result of shipping, please notify us immediately.
