Remington Portable 2
My rescue animal: I bought this not knowing if I would be able to get it working, purely to prevent yet another machine being chopped. (It was listed as material for chopping.) It cost me £7.50 and a lot of elbow grease. And it works now.

Re: Remington Portable 2
Bravo! Can you imagine such a beauty being destroyed for the sake of some junk jewellery?

Typing on it for the first time was magic. There was a fair bit of jumping up and down!

Re: Remington Portable 2
Congratulations. I can hardly imagine the level of barbarism that would destroy this for bad-taste baubles.
Have the earlier model without the protecters, and as you say, a pleasure to use; fast snappy action.
Your beautiful machine is now worth 10 to 20 times what you paid. Well done.

Wow, that turned out nice. I hope mine ends up near that beautiful after cleaning. Thanks for the inspiration.

The dirty ones are from before I started work on it.
