Remington Travel Riter repair manual

Hi all. I've recently found (read 'bought') a Remington Travel Riter for a seemingly very good price. I've found a problem which will require removing the keys to resolve. I've been looking for a repair manual to download; I did find one but it refers to parts by code number without an accompanying diagram. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good repair manual (to download or to buy) please?

Check out the manuals listed here: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-manuals.html

Not sure if it’s the same model (or similar enough) but here is the Remington Portable manual: https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/RemingtonPortableService1931.pdf

Re: Remington Travel Riter repair manual

Thanks very much Jim, I think that between the two manuals I should be able to work out what's going on. It's a 1955 Travel Riter. The semi-colon key link was detached when I bought it but I was able to fix that. Trouble is that this seemed to prevent an adjacent key from working. It'll take some time and a lot of care to work it out but I like a challenge! Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Re: Remington Travel Riter repair manual

It turned out to be a fairly straightforward repair and it helped me learn more about the Travel-Riter. It now works as it should. Gets used a couple of times a week, but for most writing I tend to gravitate towards the SM9. Love the looks and the industrial vibe of my Travel-Riter though.
