Rees Electronics is Star Office Machines, version 2.0

As I close in on my 999th post — I want to give a shout-out to the diminishing but vitally important world of TYPEWRITER REPAIRMEN.

When Ermanno Marzorati, my longtime repairman, left the business, I was bereft.  But he handed over Star Office Machines to his long-time friend HELMUT SCHULZE, who’s ably jumped into the fray.

Helmut said he didn’t realize what a big typewriter  underground  exists.  He’s started buying a few more machines and dipping his toe in the water.  I’m thrilled and I’m encouraging Mr.  Schulze to get into it, because frankly, I didn’t know what to do if I didn’t have anybody to fix my machines.

Is that selfish?
