Remington Portable Nr: 2 (Barn-find)

New project: Remington 1922 Barn find:

Stored for many years inside a barn.

The wood case is still intact and machine,

almost complete, except for the 2 ink spools.

I think this will clean up nice, some before pictures:

Time to get the dust and grime off & cleaning,

segment and many other parts.

Finally found 2 new spools with black

heavy cotton ribbon online.

Some adjusting of the ribbon function was needed,

before movement in both direction worked again.

Here is Nr: 2 on L-side and Nr:1 on the right.

Notice the Nr:2 has two "shift keys"

That's how you can easy find out what kind of model it is.

Finished and fully functional !

Tested with ribbon from the other typewriter,

so worked out the "bugs" waiting for the new

cotton ribbon & metal spools to arrive in the mail.

Test sample with new cotton ribbon, very thick

and gives it the classic old look I think.
