Typewriter Platen Reference, and all Things Made of Rubber: Ames 1960 General Catalog munk September 6, 2016 From the Desk of Reverend Munk, Typewriter Repair 101 7 Comments Some more reference from the wonderful year 1960, when you could shop for new platens and feed rolls like you were customizing a hot rod… For your amusement and edification, the “Rubber Section” from the 1960 AMES Supply General Catalog:
This is so great. I’ll fire up my time machine and pick up some platens, feed rollers, a bunch of rubber feet and several yards of type bar rest.
I like how the platen hardness types are listed as types A, M, E, and S!

From time to time you reference (NOMDA?) platen diameter sizing … is that information available online? I cannot seem to find it. Thanks.

Sweet – thank you!
My Dad was a typewriter repairman back in the day. I have his tools and don’t know what to do with them. Can you help me find a buyer?
