Nick repaired a typewriter I was given by a friend in 2019. It was already in great condition, as Nick said, examining the machine, as he affectionately refers to them. It only needed some touching up--a new ribbon, a few sticky keys, things of the sort-- and Nick had it fixed in no time. Two or three days later the machine was ready. Upon returning to the store, Nick was courteous enough to explain to me the history of the machine, its make, brand, and some little known facts I am sure now are partly lost to history due to the antique status of the technology. It was fascinating. As others have stated here, his shop is a clandestine collection of oddities and will need hours upon hours of careful observation to unlock its many secrets, however dust-laden they are, as it is apparent he has kept his treasures there for many years. I believe this may be the only business in the city or greater area servicing typewriters left. Nick charges a fair rate as well, which is not to be overshadowed by his one-of-a-kind shop. Highly recommended.

Nick is a treasure! For those who love typewriters, you have found your happy place. Nick has serviced MANY machines from my sizable collection over the years, and I’m so happy to have them in beautiful working order. Whenever I bring a typewriter to Nick, his excitement is palpable; he loves his work! You can count on a good time touring the shop (which contains countless other vintage pieces and curios) and hearing Nick’s wonderful stories about typewriters and life in general. Thanks a million Nick!
Nick is amazing and the store is like a trip to the past or a museum. Highly recommended and very affordable, given the effort required.
I LOVE going in to talk with him. He is currently fixing my type writer and he is taking such care of it and is doing what is best. He cares very much for type writers.
Nick is extremely knowledgeable and sincere. It’s been an absolute pleasure visiting and doing business with him!
Nick is amazing. Kind and caring. Spent hours with us on selecting the right typewriter for my kid. Highly recommended
Nick is a fascinating human being. His work is remarkably affordable considering the effort that goes into what he does. He always seems to have a story or twelve, so don't be expecting to hop in and hop out of the place. This man has so many years of experience and is so deeply knowledgeable about his product that if you have a typewriter in need of repair you would be daft to not seek out his services. Can't recommend highly enough. Great person, great work, incredible knowledge. Take advantage of this place while you still can - today Nick was lamenting how few people want to take the trade up and how he has nobody to replace him. You'll be kicking yourself if you wait too long.
Quite an interesting shop, with much more to offer than just typewriters/ service. Stop in to check out their wide range of antique knickknacks, and enjoy a chat with the owner! Overall, a great experience...
