1941 Remington Envoy Serial # S1166663 1941 Remington Envoy typewriter, Serial # S1166663 Gerald Ambrose's 1941 Remington Envoy typewriter. 2017-10-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Gerald Ambrose: 1941 Remington Envoy Serial # S1166663 I got this Envoy last week after debating whether or not I should buy it for some time.

Once I got it home I had a problem with the escapement not working correctly, but found an adjustment behind the carriage on the left side that adjusts the "escapement rack."
With this problem solved, the only issues I have now are finding a spring so that the return lever will return on its own after it is released and the need for new feed rollers.

But this machine lives up to what I have come to expect of these Remington 'geared-typebar' machines. They are grand machines and I would recommend them to anyone.

Left the collection on 10/22/2017.

I started collecting typewriters several years ago and it started with a late 1960s Smith-Corona Sterling portable that I got as a gift.
