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.
