The Classic Typewriter process…
(A.k.a.: How dare we guarantee a 50, 60, 70 year old machine?)
Every machine is carefully screened for quality and reliability.
Every machine passes a rigorous 53 point mechanical inspection.
Every machine is cleaned, serviced, and adjusted so that it functions as it was designed to. Parts are dismantled and replaced as needed.
Each machine is THOROUGHLY tested by a writer. (Usually people who say a typewriter ‘works’ haven’t tested most of its most important features. Sometimes the type bars move but are misaligned; sometimes the carriage won’t advance; sometimes lesser-used keys stick; sometimes whole pieces are missing, etc). If it is found to be acceptable…
Each machine is cleaned and carefully packaged for safe shipment (believe it or not, improper shipping is the MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DAMAGE for a vintage typewriter).
