If the typewriter is not repair worthy, the keys alone are worth $30-50 to crafters who make jewelry from them.

I think all it needs is ink, I didn't know about the jewelry making. Fossis.............. |

I don't recall ever seeing a typewriter with the carrage return on the right side. When in good condition, these old Remingtons were really smooth operating machines. |

Looks like it is missing the power cord.  Where do you plug in the monitor? |

A very nice fine. I paid $55 for the exact same one at an antique store. And while the jewelry is cool, if it still functions it just isn't worth mangling such a beautiful machine.
