Lucas Dul, a young man with a passion for history and old machines, has turned his hobby into a successful business venture. His Typewriter Chicago in Downers Grove, Illinois is thriving as the demand for typewriters increases. With 70 to 80 typewriters in his workshop, Dul has been fixing these machines since he was 14.

As the demand for typewriters grows, Dul is expanding his business and will soon relocate to a new space in Downers Grove. In addition to repairing typewriters, he also sells refurbished models, keeping up with the renewed popularity of these vintage machines.
Lucas Dul’s unique ability to make old typewriters seem new again has made his business successful, with plans for growth on the horizon. With his love for history and old machines, he continues to bring these classic machines back to life for those who appreciate their beauty and functionality.
