Our Purpose
We work simultaneously as engineers and historians to perform comprehensive typewriter restorations. From specialized deep cleaning to custom fabrication of rubber pieces, we take special care to remedy the problems that come from these elegant machines sitting idle for decades. Once a typewriter has gone through our painstaking top-to-bottom restoration process, it will perform as though it had just rolled off of the factory line. For those who are searching for a place to bring their typewriter back to life, we are proud to say that you needn’t look any further than Philly Typewriter.
WE HAVE MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION!
With the remarkable support we've received from our customers, we have outgrown our original shop and have moved a little ways down East Passyunk to a larger space. After a lot of hard work and moving our tools and typewriters down the avenue, we are thrilled to announce the new shop is officially open for business. All of us at Philly Typewriter are excited about this next stage in our journey, and we can’t wait to see you!
Covid-19 Appointments and Safety Protocol
We are now open by appointment only. Please either call or email us to secure a time slot. For the safety of our staff we ask our customers to wear a face mask when you come. If you have been showing any symptoms of the virus in the last two weeks or have been in close contact with someone who has been unwell with the virus in the last two weeks we ask that you do not make an appointment at this time.
