Kindest regards for posting these- there’s not much information out there pertaining to some of the nitty gritty bits inside of typewriters, and these manuals have been invaluable.
Does anyone have a manual for an Underwood Noiseless 77 manufactured in 1946? Or do you know of a site that has one online?? Thanks. (I am trying to help my granddaughter use my mother’s machine which is in great condition.)
Thank you so much for posting these. What a marvelous help for those of us in love with our typewriters. It’s very kind of you.
Thank you for sharing the manuals I could not find one for my Remington Quiet-Riter. I”m glad to see I”m not alone in using typewriters.

Hello John,
Thank you very very much for these manuals.
With them, I’ll try to fix my 1930 Underwood n°5.
My model is a little younger, for the bichrome ribbon shift lever is different (a little stick with a little ball at the top).
The serial number is 3701872-5.
Any information on this model will be welcome.
Thanks again from france

John, you kindly offered a PDF on a Seal/210M press manual a couple of years ago. Is it still available? I just purchased one at auction and it is working but I would like to know how to care for it. I use it to dry mount my art after I have wet mounted it. Thank you for your consideration. Lillian
I was wondering if anyone had a free pdf file for the Oliver No. 9 typewriter owner’s manual and service manual. I recently bought one for my Dad who is an old typewriter serviceman. I thought it would complete it for him to have the manuals too. Thanks
Hello John
I just bought an Oliver 6, and I’m very happy to find a manual for an Oliver 5, for they seem to be the same, except the number of keys.
A little question about serial number : mine is D 8226, with azerty keyboard.
Who could tell me which year it was made, for the Typewriter Serial Number Database gives numbers from 212000 up to 494000 for this machine.
Thanks again from france

Hello to all typewriter lovers!
Since a month I own a Remington 10. I am desperate seeking on the Internet for a service manual, because there are some loose and or missing parts. If anyone have images from the bach side I wpuld appreciate to receive them. This is an SOS from Holland.
Thanks in advance for your kind assistance: Jacques
