Remington Junior Typewriter

While waiting on some tools to get underway on the Selectric I clean and repair I thought I would introduce another of the typewriters I purchased a couple of weeks ago, all within two days.

While near a flea market I decided to stop-in.  This Remington Junior was on display in one of the booths.  It seemed a good price so I looked further.  Found that all seemed to work well except the arms that hold the paper against the front of the platen did not do so.  For some reason there was an obstruction preventing the arms from laying close to the platen.  This did not seem to be much of a problem so I haggled down the price somewhat and took the typewriter home.

I did discover that a piece on one end of the bar the arms are attached to was hitting against another piece on the typewriter.  A slight bend with the needle nose pliers quickly fixed the issue.  This typewriter has since been sitting, waiting for attention.  I shall clean it up in the near future and it should make an appealing addition.

Doesn’t appear that this model was made for very long.  Need to run down the facts about this version.

More to come............
