Platen knobs, feet, ribbon covers, keytops and spool parts for manual and electric typewriters.

We’re collecting requests for this department

We document parts where people tell us they need them. Describe the part and the machine, and your request goes straight into the queue that decides which niches we research next.

Parts we’re collecting requests for

14 parts owners of these machines often need, by model family. “See part” opens what we have documented; “Request” adds your vote, and requests decide what we design first.
