There are specialists in the UK who sell reconditioned vintage and retro models. In addition, they usually provide servicing, repairs and ribbons.
To-date, I have only purchased (Imperial Good Companion 1938 and Olympia Traveller) from George Blackman, who were, knowledgeable, prompt and delightful to deal with.
Review feedback on others listed is welcomed.
| Charlie Foxtrot Wiltshire | Very attractive website by Philip & Jules Chapman. Mainly online, but they do attend Antique & Vintage Markets, showing a range of typewriters and accessories. | website |
| Everest Typewriter Centre Wiltshire | Looks like a lovely old-school office equipment shop. With over 30 years experience, this is a rare typewriter destination within the outer London area. | website |
| George Blackman Bexhill-on-Sea | His shop maybe on the south coast, but his mail order service is excellent. George recently promoted typewriters on the BBC (The One Show) and he is building a typewriter legacy by passing on his skills to Gavin Eldridge. | website |
| London Typewriters West London | Alex is a keen Typewriter collector who also sells machines. Mail Order, with excellent reviews, his machines can be picked up if required. | website |
| The Typewriter Man Luton (online) | He appears extremely knowledgeable about Typewriters, no doubt being in the industry of many years. Now part-time, the Typewriter Man could be one of the very few to solve some machine problems. A Typewriter lifesaver! The site contains a Typewriter of the month feature, including a library of previous models reviewed. An excellent information resource. | website |
