Repair
Targets specific faults: a broken drawband, a sticking key, a missing keytop. The rest of the machine is left as is. Best for machines that are otherwise clean and functional.
Service
A full clean, lubricate, and adjust. The right choice for most machines coming out of storage or feeling generally tired.
Restoration
Complete mechanical rebuild plus cosmetic work and new rubber. Ideal for heirlooms, collector pieces, or a machine you plan to write on daily for decades.
Weighing the cost
We compare the estimate to the machine's value and your goals. Sentimental value is legitimate; we will never talk you out of restoring a family machine, but we will be honest about what it will cost.
Preserving originality
Whatever level you choose, we protect original finishes and decals and keep replaced parts for you on request.
