Description:
Replaced various parts and made adjustments to improve the appearance and completeness. Thoroughly degreased. However, the machine remains inoperable due to a broken carriage. The brass folding Inking arm holder is also badly bent. Feet were replaced with cork substitutes. Font is script. Missing keycaps have since been replaced as well as the pin which raises and lowers the paper holder to the platen for different thickness of paper/card stock. Thank you to the Blickensderfer Facebook group - esp. Christopher Cottle - for insights, reference materials and parts.
