I had them do a tune up on a 1930's Royal Quiet Deluxe typewriter I bought while living in the area and was blown away by how they were able to bring the machine back to like-new operation.
There were once entire schools dedicated to training typewriter repair and now the art is almost completely lost for some of the older mechanicals.
