Davis Typewriter Works: Rebuilt Typewriters - A Discussion and Categorization
http://davistypewriters.blogspot.com/2015/07/rebuilt-typewriters-discussion-and.html
The Davis Brothers' site on typewriter collecting, history, technology, use and repair. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Rebuilt Typewriters - A Discussion and Categorization. Why buy a rebuilt typewriter?
