You can tell he cares about the craft and about keeping these machines alive. The whole place is full of typewriters and I can't wait to add a cursive one to my collection at some point. My Olivetti typewriter came back working beautifully, and the turnaround was quicker than I expected. Super friendly, trustworthy, and worth every penny! Highly recommend if you've got a typewriter that needs some love.

Nightmarish experience with Mr. Schultz and Rees Electronics. I brought in my 1940's Smith Corona…read morefor a tune up and ribbon change. The case was flawless. When I came back to pick it up, I was shocked to see it lying on its side on the floor in front of his counter. When he gave it back onto me, there were several scratches on the case! This beautiful machine had somehow made it nearly 80 years without a scratch-- that is, until I had the misfortune of trusting Mr. Schultz with it. To make matters worse, he denied he had caused the scratches, even when I showed him photos that I had taken of the typewriter before I brought it in for servicing. He ultimately bought the type from me, but not before screaming vulgarities at me. What a surreal and hellish experience it was dealing with this guy.

It only took a little over a week and he charged a reasonable rate for everything. I tipped him a little bit just because I really appreciate his craft and that there is still a typewriter repair guy open locally. The storefront is hard to find as the signage is faded away, but he IS still here and OPEN for business. I never had a hard time finding him in the store (even on a Saturday), but I would call first to make sure he is in the in just to make sure. Some reviews say the shop is in a shady area, but I am Long Beach born and bred and I urge you not to let these reviews deter you. It's a little working class shop and in a working class neighborhood. Great little shop and a wonderful typewriter repair guy! Thank you, Gary!

Tom is wonderful and has such a cool little shop. He has tons of great options for frames and reasonable prices. The turnaround time for my project was only two days. Tom has worked with some very cool filmmakers including David Lynch and has lots of unique framed memorabilia in the store. It's a pleasure to hire someone for a project like this who not only understands framing, but is a collector and art aficionado himself! I will definitely be returning here for any future framing needs.

Interacting with Tommy, I could tell that doing impeccable framing work for his customer's is his number one goal. Falling short of that goal is not an option for him. He takes great care with each piece that he is given to frame. Turn around time is very reasonable. If you have a valuable keepsake that you've been unsure where to take to get framed because you want to make sure it is handled with care, then take it to Tommy. It'll be in good hands here at Frame of Mind.

I used to go to Crest Office Furniture when Taylor Hurst with Taylor Hurst as my salesperson - and…read morehe was great at helping me set up my office furniture. He left late this summer, so another salesman stepped in for my next project. Talk about a disaster: no follow-through, inaccurate information, upping an existing quote when none of the specs changed, long delays not only in performing but just in getting information and returning calls; reliance on email and never getting it "right" withoutt even thinking to call; and to top it all off, an owner who upon hearing what was going wrong just blew off the feedback entirely. But all is not lost: Taylor Hurst moved to MIchael E. Powers and Associates - which carries virtually all the same lines of office furniture AND as Taylor is showing me, can customize furniture and orders in ways that Crest either never could or never would bother to try. Powers now has my business - and I would recommend to Crest customers and to those looking for a great office furniture resource that you look to MIchael E. Powers - and Taylor - for great service and great results.
