Who Wants To Restore This Remington Standard Typewriter?

This beat up old Remington typewriter was up for grabs on eBay but there were no takers.

It’s a Remington Standard Model 2 and I must admit it looks a tad sad and needs a loving new owner who will restore it to its original glory.

There are some bits missing and I am pretty sure Remington are right out of stock of anything for this model. I did a search with Google and found stickers and useful info for a restoration job but be prepared to spend some hours making the missing parts.

UPDATE:18 September 2009. Last Saturday I took my Remington to a Car Boot Sale (A kind of open-air flea market here in the UK) and got the princely sum of £8 (approx. $13 at the time) for it. Antique typewriters don’t command a lot of money, even when in perfect condition, and should only be collected for the pleasure they give the owner not as an investment.
