Two poets to open a typewriter and book shop in Garfield Park by [[Sophie Young]]
recently opened typewriter repair shops, 2025
Indy Type Shop will be at 2621 Shelby St., which used to be a gun shop and then a cell phone store.
Usually it might have been typewriter shop, gun shop, then cell phone store, so it's intriguing to see the opposite ordering.
Jim Riegert, now in his 70s, remembers what it used to be like. "Back then, typewriters were pretty big. Typewriters and adding machines," he says, referring to desktop calculators. "It got really difficult in the typewriter business about 25 years ago," he says. "The internet was coming on and killing us, too." He runs Typewriters.com and, despite a decline in sales in recent decades, he still shifts four or five electric IBM typewriters every week.

Rolla typewriter enthusiasts open store for those enchanted by the 'clickety clack' by [[Jonathan Ahl]]
Retired collector turned repair person
If you've been dreaming of plunging into this profession, consider the success of Paul Lundy, who took over Bremerton Office Machine Company from nonagenarian Bob Montgomery; or Antony Valoppi, creator of Portland's Type Space, which combines a traditional typewriter shop with a cultural center; or Trevor Brumfield, a young man in his late twenties who has quickly built Dayton's TB Writers Plus into a busy enterprise.
"Business went right to nothing, hardly," he remembers. "As soon as that computer hit the price of under $2,000, that was the end of the typewriter business—80% of the business was gone in three years. When I started there was 27 little shops like this in the Twin Cities, and there was 47 before that."

Ames Segment Pick, an Artisan Tool – For Sale $24.95 by Paul of Bremerton Office Machine Company
It is kinda funny that our shop, which has been around since 1947, has only ONE segment pick.
Is it telling that a typewriter shop around since 1947 only has one segment pick?
