Typewriter Repair Shop

I had a damaged 1949? Royal KMG typewriter, the carriage was stuck from being shipped improperly. And I took the damaged typewriter to Ruben and he did an amazing job, fixed my typewriter, replaced damaged parts, gave it a deep cleaning. It looks brand new, works good as new. I'm very happy to have my typewriter back after a year of it being broken. Ruben is the best typewriter mechanic in the city, a rare profession. A little pricey, but who else are ya gonna go to? lol

Ruben is a master at his craft. He shares his knowledge and is happy to educate you. My vintage Triumph typewriter is a stellar working beauty now!!! Highly recommend.

I have a Royal Quiet Deluxe from the late 1940's that I bought 15-20 years ago. I stopped using it and stored it in my garage because I didn't have a writing space for myself. Now I have a space and I took it out, but after ten years of not being used it needed some servicing. I found Ruben online and took it to him for an evaluation and the machine was in worse condition than I thought. He was very knowledgeable and told me what it needed to be usable again. He left it up to me to decide how far I wanted to go with it, no pressure. I decided to go with a full refurbishment. It is becoming very rare to find one of these machines in the condition that mine was in. It was very well taken care of before I bought it and I felt it was worth saving. Ruben is an exceptional craftsman. My antique typewriter works better than it has ever worked since its been in my possession. If you have an old typewriter you want to refurbish, I highly recommend Ruben. Thank you Ruben. I have already started writing my next story on my little gem from the 1940's.

I'm a little late posting this review. I purchased a typewriter on eBay for my wife as a present. The machine needed some love so we took it to Ruben. He not only restored the Lettera 32 with script font to perfect condition, he also gave us a 7 minute tutorial on the functions of all the levers and mechanisms. He even let us record it so we can reference his explanation at a later date. He has plenty of typewriters: manual and electric for sale. My wife is having such a great time writing her letters on the machine that her friends are also asking how to get their own typewriter. Bottom line, Ruben is fair, reliable and passionate about typewriters. I highly recommend his business.
