Dec.20, 2024. Chris, I just acquired a Remington All New, SN#AT1984336, which makes him a close relative of yours, mine being made in January, 1950. Identical paint & features to yours. Like you, I hadn't set out to buy one of these, but after seeing some on TWDB & reading positive reviews, I stumbled on one being advertised as, "Museum Quality", and it being Xmas time, I succumbed to temptation. I also have a small collection of l950 typewriters, in honor of my birthyear & these great instruments. I'm uncertain what "museum quality" really means - Mint? Super Duper? Pristine? Excellent, I think would be as accurate; and this one is excellent (though considerably more costly than yours), with little sign of wear - almost could have just walked off the showroom floor. And types quite nicely, and I love the classy industrial yet stylish design - the curves lend a flair to him. I find the action smooth, though the touch sensitivity settings offer really only two options for me: Low setting (1) is the best, and middle (2) IS firm, while High is way too firm, requiring a solid punch to print well (& I'm not into punching out my beloved companions). The segment shift is very good, comparable to my Royals & Smith-Coronas. Besides being close to immaculate externally, the rubber components are all remarkably supple, almost new, but I think this TW was stored well -temperature controlled environment, and treated with kid gloves. I'm awaiting fresh ribbons from Baco (my go-to source) so I can write some correspondence with this guy. I've named him, Remzky, for now. I think so much of this well designed machine, that I may get another, a less fortunate, definitely cheaper one, and repaint it or bronze it or something. Anyway, I thank you for your in-depth exploration of the All New, and wish you a cheery holiday!
