Special guest: 

Thomas Furrier from Cambridge Typewriter Co

Cambridge Typewriter Co., Inc. has been in business since 1973 and is located at 102 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, MA 02474. The owner, Tom Furrier, has been a typewriter repairman for 38 years and specializes in sales and repairs of all typewriters. Over the last fifteen years, we have seen a strong resurgence in typewriters, especially with younger people showing an interest in older vintage manual typewriters. We still repair lots of office typewriters for the many companies that still use typewriters in the metro Boston area. Because we are one of the last typewriter shops left in New England, people from all over the Northeast travel to our shop looking for that perfect vintage typewriter that will help inspire them to write stories, poetry, music, journaling or anything else they can think of.
