Greetings all
Recently acquired a 1950's Remington Portable without tabulator S/N-EAN180143, basically a Quiet-Riter with the green key tops. The Q keytop is missing, so I'm wondering if anyone has an old unit they're parting out. A couple of the small green caps on the various control levers are also missing, but these seem to fall off and get lost on many of these machines. Thanks in advance,

We humans go through many computers in our lives, but in their lives, typewriters go through many of us.
In that way, they’re like violins, like ancestral swords. So I use mine with honor and treat them with respect.
I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.
