I clipped out the DISPATCH article and pasted it in my journal when it appeared. I wonder if One Man's Treasure in Millersport does typewriter repair? I only buy from him when he has a booth at Comfest, but I may give him a call. Anyone know? </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/any-typewriter-repair-shopspeople-in-columbus#post-404413 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 09:48:48 +0000 kessler 404413@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>I'm not sure if they are still open but a quick google search brings up a place in Clintonville;<br /> Vintage Fountain Pens &amp; Repair<br /> 3481 N High St<br /> Columbus, OH 43214<br /> <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/vintage-fountain-pen-sales-and-repair-columbus">Here's the link</a><br /> he may fix them, or know of someone who does, I'm gathering from the review.</p> <p>also;<br /> American Typewriter Co<br /> in Delaware, Ohio<br /> <a href="http://www.manta.com/c/mm2g0hm/american-typewriter-company">mentions they fix typewriters (including electric)</a><br /> not sure if this business is still open.</p> <p>hope that helps,<br /> here's an article from the dispatch which is cute.

I bought it at the Salvation Army for $.80 about eight years ago, and it has served me well. It has stood up well to my Pete Townshend typing style, but it has gotten a little slow of late. I've used Liquid Wrench, but it doesn't seem to help for long, so I think it needs a pro's touch. Are there any people in Columbus who work on manual typewriters? </p>
