I'd like to build an international list of known repair shops, preferably those that have been used and can be recommended by Typewriter Talk members. If you are aware of a repair shop(s) still in operation please post its particulars here (name, address, phone). I'll compile all of the information provided in this thread to create an international directory within this first post. Thanks!

Noted in an earlier post. Bremerton Office Machine Company, Bremerton, WA (USA). Paul Lundy owner. I visit every couple months (from Astoria, OR - a 3 hr drive one way) to drop off machines for tune-ups. Always a great time. Thankfully, he has quite an active business I suspect, based on what he has in the shop. Picked up an not-often-seen typeface (Double Gothic) on a SCM Electro 120. He found it in a local thrift store. Nice find.
And it that is not enough, the next door business, Typewriter Fever, is quite a find as well. Lots of machines for sale. Don Feldman is the owner.
