Typewriter Repair Shops San Diego

• Thanks Mitch for all of your help setting up my Underwood typewriter. From replacing the ribbons to spending your time showing me all of the fun little features on my machine, and making sure that it worked perfectly before I left, I would say that my experience was great! Super friendly, professional and really knows what he's talking about! I'm definitely taking all of my typewriter concerns to Mitch!

• Thanks much for the assistance in repairing my Selectric III. It is great to still find someone interested and extremely knowledgable in keeping these engineering marvels working. We are throwing away our heritage!

• 11-11-09    What do you do at 4:00 in the afternoon in Phoenix, AZ when a friend calls you from a yard sale saying they may have found a sought after typewriter, but couldn't find the serial number to confirm?
  
  A dilemma. Calls to local shops yielded no success. A quick glance at the clock showed all the fancy schmancy east coast restoration shops were closed. West coast? Googled typewriter restoration San Diego – a hit – Abbotts Business Machines – hum, with a link to typewriter restoration as well.
  
  I called, and Mitchell went beyond the call of customer service. He listened to my situation and told me where to find the serial number. And to confirm it, he graciously pulled a similar typewriter out of a storage shelf just to confirm his already correct information.
  
  Mitchell – great customer service and thanks again for going that extra mile. And when it comes time for me to refurbish my next great find, I’m sending it to Mitchell at Abbotts Business Machines.

• I am impressed with the kindness and repspect and honesty
  Mitch gave me regarding my typewriter  repair. I could not use my old Royal manual.

                   He could have told me that I needed a repair but instead called told me that it was only a setting on my machine. He told me to call him when I got the machine home. He explaned on the phone what I was doing wrong. Amazing you dont get service like this anymore. Oh yes he did not charge me either.

                   Thanks again Mitch

• Mitch,
  
  Thank you so much for your assistance. I called you expecting to
  receive a simple answer to my vintage restoration questions just like
  all of the other business's gave me. I was pleasantly surprised to
  hear that you were willing to take the time to have a long conversation
  with me about restoring my machine and the steps I could take to do it
  myself. As a young adult with limited money to purchase and restore my
  vintage typewriter, it was nice to hear a voice on the other end of
  the phone who was willing to offer a helping hand to someone such as
  myself. I have dreamed for a long time of owning my own typewriter,
  and now you are making it possible for me to own one that is in good
  condition. Thank you so much for your help and honesty. Those
  qualities are few and far between today.
  
  Much Thanks,
  Kimberly  Nothern California

• I highly recommend Mitchell! Going to his home workshop was a absolute joy. With expert detail he took time to kindly teach me about my vintage typewriter as he customized the replacement ribbon and cleaned the inner workings. I had such a wonderful experience. His knowledge is a great opportunity for one interested in adventure, the adventure of exploring the fantastic possibilities of machines that do not use electricity.

• A perfect, strangely exciting experience. Mitch was able to bring my babies back from the grave, took the time to show me the ins & outs of all her little workings, and gave me a good deal to boot. I would recommend him to anyone.

• "I sent my vintage Royal Quiet Deluxe to Mitch for some custom
  modifications.  Mitch took time to talk to me and make sure he knew
  exactly what I wanted, then did an expert job.  The typewriter works
  perfectly." He moved the key slugs to differnt positions that I wanted

• Wows if you get invited to his home shop for a repair take the opportunity. He is and expert for sure. He has some antique typewriters in his house and in his shop behind his house.  He took the time to show me the ins and outs of my Royal typewriter. Mitch also showed me some great machines, Blichensderfer, Smith Premier, Hammond, Oliver, Folding Corona, and more he even let me touch and type on them. Great experience for typewriter nuts.
