TESTIMONIAL For the past few years, I had a 'pink royal quiet deluxe typewriter' on my wish list - but I could never find one in the pristine condition (looks and function) that I wanted. My wish was to open the box and begin typing as though it had been received brand new in the year it was originally manufactured. Last week, my wish came true!!!! I found Karl Business Machines on the web and saw just the beauty I'd been hoping for - offered by a company that had been in business for some time.... specializing in typewriters and restoring old typewriters to 'like new' condition with beautiful, professional paint jobs. I called from my home in Texas and Roberta answered the phone. She patiently answered all my questions and really made me feel like she was happy that I had found them because she knew they offered the quality I was looking for. I placed the order (as a gift from my husband) and a few days later I excitedly unwrapped the very carefully secured pink beauty. I took it out of the box, set it on my desk, and started typing! It's everything I had hoped for! Thank you so much!

Karl Business Machines 2562 Nottingham way Trenton, NJ 08619 karl Business Machines Testimonials: “I recently bought a vintage Royal typewriter from Karl. I named her Flo and she is beautiful and completely restored. Vintage…..but new. The finish is amazing; a 1950’s teal and she sparkles. I am an artist and have my own card line. I create art on this typewriter, but Flo also comes to trade shows, art shows and classes that I teach.. She is a part of my studio and my business. I am so happy I bought her." Colleen...storyteller...eco-artist...treasure hunter Hi Rick WOW.. Thank you so much for and incredible service from beginning to end. As you know this was a gift for my daughter who graduated with honours in history. There are no words to describe how thrilled she was to open the typewriter ( which had been packed with a lot of care and attention and arrived in immaculate condition ) she really could not believe it was sitting in front of her. I have no doubt once she gets to grips with it she will enjoy many hours creating wonderful stories and I can assure you it will be well looked after and will be in our family for many years to come. If anyone wonders if the shipping and custom costs are justified I can only say that I would have paid double and I am even thinking of buying another one as an ornament for myself :) So once again thank you and I hope it gives you pleasure knowing what a huge part of our celebration your company thousands of miles away played. I wish you continued success and watch this space for a PINK one Kim UK I recommend anyone looking for a beautiful, working, antique typewriter to visit Karl's Business Machines! I was in the market for such a machine for my daughter as a college graduation gift. Being that she is a journalist, all of her time is spent writing and she has secretly wanted a manual for years. The selection of types and colors is tremendous, as is the knowledge and help from the owner himself. Each machine is a work of art and treated as so. I highly recommend Karl's for your next typewriter purchase! Colleen, New Jersey We love the typewriter so we'd love to give you a testimonial. Thank you so much for the amazing typewriter! I purchased it for my wife for her birthday and she was giddy after opening the package. She loved that it was pink, her favorite color. The paint job itself was perfect. Just like it came from the factory. I can tell that the machine has definitely been restored by a company that knows what they're doing. Great quality work! Thanks again! Stephen As far as the typewriter goes, it was a Christmas present for my step-daughter so I didn't get a good look at it until she opened it on Christmas morning. ( I didn't remove all the packing ) The look on her face when she saw it was worth a million dollars!! She loved it. It was the perfect gift. After her excitement subsided, I got a good look at it and I was impressed with the condition of it. It was definitely better than my expectations. I expected it to look like a cleaned up, refurbished typewriter. It looked like a new typewriter. Extremely well done job. She loves it and I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks, Steve Thank you so much for my typewriter I have so many compliments about it. Came with a instruction manual, communication postage and packaging was outstanding. Seller was friendly and so helpful. May sound cheesy but it's the truth. Alexia , England Thank you so much for the beautiful custom lime green Royal typewriter! I was very pleased with the beautiful paint job and terrific packaging job to protect the typewriter during transit. I would be very happy to do business again! Keith Nicole loved her PINK Royal typewriter! It turned out exactly how she wanted it too. She is now learning how to type on it, using a heavier stroke the using a computer. And yes, it is like a new machine! After searching the internet for a restored vintage typewriter for my 19 old daughter for Christmas, I came across Karl Business Machines. Rick and Roberta could not have been more helpful in providing me with all of my options. I chose to have a Royal typewriter painted pastel pink and although it was very close to Christmas, Rick assured he would do everything he could to have it ready for me. Not only was it ready, but the paint job came out beautiful. The machine was so clean that it was like new! My daughter could not have been happier with it! I am looking forward to using Karl's for any future purchases and would highly recommend them to anyone. Beth When my daughter first started talking about wanting a typewriter I thought she was crazy. Then I thought, where in the world could you buy a typewriter nowadays? However, a quick search on Google brought me to Karl Business Machines, just a short ride from my home. After a phone call with Roberta, I brought my daughter in to see and try out the machines. She was very happy with the choices and we ordered a Royal Heritage in black. The typewriter turned out beautiful. My daughter is thrilled with it. Roberta and Rick were wonderful to work with. They both were so kind and thoughtful, and obviously love what they are doing. They provided superior service, with a friendly attitude. I look forward to visiting their shop again. Sincerely, Deborah I received a black Royal Heritage typewriter for Christmas which my mother purchased from your store and I just want to let you know that I absolutely love it! It is so beautiful and it works like a charm! I'm so pleased and it's a perfect first typewriter. Thank you especially to Roberta for helping my mother chose the perfect machine for me! Thanks, Christina "Love, love, love my "new" old typewriter! I learned typing in high school on an old typewriter and have always wanted one for nostalgic reasons. Amazingly, my husband listened to my request while browsing in an antique shop, and purchased one for me here. It is just lovely! I actually cried when I opened my unexpected gift! It is vintage, yet so new. I couldn't be happier with it. Thank you for a job well done!" Many thanks and Happy New Year! Anna Just received my white Typewriter, Great work! looks beautiful! Jay This past Christmas, a few days before, my daughter Emily (13) was looking to buy a typewriter. I figured she would find an old used, broken typewriter, that would give her trouble. UNTIL we found this one! Rick shipped it immediately to where she received it on Christmas Eve! She couldn't have been happier! She opened the carefully packed box and when she opened it and saw her new refurbished typewriter, she was sooo excited. Rick has done a terrific job on stripping, and repainting (baking) it. There are no flaws in the paint, it is just perfect and types just like it came from the factory years ago. She keeps it in her room, on display! Excellent customer service, After my daughter typing on it on Christmas Eve, we had a question about the typewriter so i emailed Rick. He instantly replied and gave his phone number for me to call him ( I was worrying I was bothering him on Christmas Eve), so i did call and Rick was so welcoming and didn't mind at all! I am impressed and thank you so much! Thank you Rick, and you have made us a very happy customer and we will spread the word! Sincerely, Kim and Emily Louisville KY
