Description: I am a factory-trained technician with more than five decades of experience. All my machines include the tear down and reassembly of each machine which is meticulously cleaned, with full lubrication and reassembled to manufacturer specifications. VERY RARE Superb coral over beige 1960 TORPEDO 18B typewriter, PICA typeface, very close to factory fresh condition. Full refurbishment, NEW PLATEN ($150 at my cost), NEW silk black & red ribbon ($14.95 value), NEW FEET on both the machine and the carrying case ($55 at my cost), and a copy of operators manual. This particular machine has an exceptional touch and operation.You can expect prices to continue to rise for the foreseeable future on professionally refurbished machines because of the scarcity of local, factory-trained typewriter repairmen and the machines themselves. Logically, professionally refurbished typewriters will be the better investment long term. German-made Torpedo typewriter is one of the best made typewriters ever made, surpassing even the ultra-popular (and much more expensive) Swiss-made Hermes machines because I work on them both. Check out the representative photos of what is 6+ hour process mechanical refurbishment process including the near total tear down and reassembly of each machine, including full cleaning and lubrication, then reassembled to manufacturer specs. FLAT RATE SHIPPING via FedEx ground (continental USA only) EXPERTLY PACKED in a sturdy shipping container that protects both the carrying case but also the precision machine inside. Check out my feedback and see what the repeat buyers are saying about my refurbished typewriters. Please note: a signature will be required upon delivery. THANK YOU.
