I need to break out my typewriter! Thanks for this post. Love that there are still craftsmen who know how to repair typewriters.

Wonderful story. You brought back memories of high school typing class. We had 2 rows of manual typewriters and one row of electric. We would alternate every week. My typing speed would always drop off the first time on either machine until I had adjusted my "touch." My mother insisted my sisters and I take typing in high school so we would "always have a skill to fall back on when looking for a job." (This was over 50 years ago - although I was also able to be in our high schools first computer class my senior year.) How prophetic she was, I was able to transition easily to a PC or MAC when that time came and was able to find paying employment until I retired 2 years ago.
