Re: List of repair shops in the USA

Highly recommend Gramercy in NYC! I got my SM-9 serviced there and bought my SF DeLuxe there too. And I might just go back to see if they can fix the tab on my KMG...


A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

Re: List of repair shops in the USA

The only issue with such lists is keeping them up to date, especially since more typewriter repair shops are disappearing than they are appearing. Moved this thread to the Resource section.

If anyone is aware of revisions that need to be made to the list, please post them here. 


The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

Re: List of repair shops in the USA

One update and one addition to the Connecticut list:
Whitlock in New Haven is gone; he retired and may have passed.  It was a longtime institution in these parts.

I have used Remco Office Machines in Windsor several times.  As the name implies, they used to be a Remington agency, but work on other machines as well, including Olympias I think: 595 River St., Windsor CT 06095; 860-688-6485; 800-766-7362.
