Description:
Purchased this unit on ebay. Photos are as received. Initial inspections show that this unit can become usable once again with a cleaning, lubrication, and possible some adjustments. 80% of the keys are now freely moving, with some initial manipulation. I will update once I have made the necessary repairs.
Was able to get it working well enough to get lower case text to type. The Shift is way off.. will update once repaired

I have been collecting, restoring, and repairing, for a bit over 2 years now. The Majority of my collection is Mid and early century, and my preferred period is developing more to 19th century and early 20th. I am currently seeking more 19th century models to add to the collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
