Holy cow. Another ex-typewriter repairman! Came up on board with the Underwood standards, Olivetti's and IBM Selectrics then on to Word Processors and PC's. I still have my old Dave Platt briefcase/toolcase full of the old tools. Amazes the guys at the field when I whip out a springhook or duckbill pliers.
Yeah, I worked for a shop in Albuquerque that a several hundred Selectrics, at the state capitol and University of NM on service contracts, but when I moved down here in '93, none of the shops had any Selectrics on contract, so I got out of the T/W repair biz. Kept the spring hooks, duckbills and VACO screwdrivers, and sold all the special tools on bay. Never looked back. Although, if I could find some good ole cancer casing "TriClor", I would sure be happy though.
