Description:
This is a friend's--it types well, but the platen won;t grip the paper properly on returning the carriage. I'd love ideas on how to help--coworkers apparently played a little rough with it.

I started collecting typewriters in 1996 when my employer at an old newsstand in Kalamazoo, MI gave me her mother's Underwood Elliot Fisher Noiseless; I love these machines and learning how to repair and maintain them. The Noiseless was the medium for a zine I wrote through the nineties and into the oughts, and my nine-year-old daughter now types regularly.
