"I've purchased reconditioned typewriters from, sold typewriters to, and had typewriters reconditioned at Berkeley Typewriter for decades. Joe knows his craft inside and out, and I'm glad he had the smarts to hire Ken Alexander when California Typewriter closed. Together, they represent the most knowledgeable and experienced typewriter mechanics in Northern California. "

"A wonderful store with an excellent selection of restored typewriters for sale. I really liked the variety of their collection. I went in thinking I would want a large Underwood, but fell in love with this portable Royal instead. Being able to type on them helped me immensely in finding the typewriter of my dreams. I will certainly be back!"

"Many thanks to Joe for rapidly fixing our 1935 Royal KH typewriter. Extra credit for thoughtful service and the education he offered me and my 8-year-old on how typewriters function."
