I bought a 1930 something typewriter for $25 on craigslist, and called another shop, and was informed that I would be charged a minimum of $70 just to have my typewriter cleaned (but that it would be more likely over $100.) I called Ace and they would completely overhaul the item for $50. The people are very nice and it is definitely worth the drive (as they are located near St. Johns.) Great place to go if you are fixing up an old typewriter, or if you wish to buy one. (And as buisness hours are not listed online anywhere, I will add that they are 9am to 4:30pm, Mon-Fri)
