YouTubeMy portable Royal Royalite needs some TLC. 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?

Although typewriter relatedThanks, I'll try these folks. 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?
