Hello all - quick intro for me.

I own about 30 typewriters, and am working to restore most of them to working condition.  The one I'm currently working on is a 1915-17 -ish Hammond Model 12, which turns out to be half woodworking and half typewriter repairs.  It's now in workable condition but with a few more adjustments needed.

Most of my other machines are portables.  I mainly have Remingtons, Royals (including my original high school machine), SCs, and a couple of Olivettis.  People have given me five electric machines - those I have't even touched yet.  Throw in an Oliver and a few LC Smith / Remington standards and that rounds out the collection.

It sounds like your ribbon shield requires replacement (I assume that’s the part you mean by shuttle guard).  Those were wear items meant to be replaced.

I make my own now with good results.
