In reply to Anthony.

Did you Try the centering lever under the right platen roller knob?

I recently picked one up, and I don’t know how, but I locked it up good, dead center, and cannot find any switch to unlock the keys or the carriage. Has anybody seen this in the Eleven? I believe I have the exact same one as pictured above, but without being able to find the serial number, which I suspect is buried under the carriage, I cannot know for sure. Thanks!

Just found one in a case by a dumpster in Passaic NJ. Thanks for the info. Nice conversation piece for the office.

I would be eternally grateful if somebody could tell me where the serial number for the Remington Rand Quiet Riter with Miracle Tab appears. I have one and I have looked everywhere, short of taking the machine apart.

I totally agree. I am a huge fan of the Quiet Riter. I own two, one for home and one for the office.

I have fallen for the Quiet Writer with the Miracle Tab. The looks didn’t do it for me. Of course these were small online pics, but after reading the reviews here, I now own a few machines and my latest was an impulsive purchase. The Riter looked clean and was fairly cheap. Just taken care of the machine today and I am very surprised by how easy it is to work with. Very steady, assured and comforting to type on. As a writer myself I have ended up with a small collection by default. Trying to find the one great machine. My ‘as new’ SM8 may be beautiful in every way, my Letters 22 super cute, my Good Companion very English, but this simply has oodles of charm. It is a delightfully designed machine. I was expecting a machine designed down to a price point with rattles and a looseness like my orange Seiko, but I am wrong! So much so, this beauty is solid. She has her original metal spools, clicks along quietly and has a film star like charisma, a lovely font too. What’s not to like. If anyone wants a heavy weight portable that skips along with you – go get a Quiet Writer. I love mine.

The Q-R 11 is one typewriter I enjoy, so I added a Q-R, L-R. Hopefully I’ll find an Office-Riter to complete the collection. For me this is the best portable made by Remington.

I agree these are some of the most durable machines made. And I recommend them to people looking for a typewriter for their kids to play with. I am often surprised how much I like typing on one, especially considering how stiff they feel initially.
