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 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
