Description:
I knew this would be a tough one. They had been pouring oil onto the linkages for quite awhile. It was a gooey mess and these machines have limited access to get to things. A whole lot of lacquer thinner. She types pretty good. The platen is hard, so three sheets of paper to get a good impression.
Absolute beasts these things are. They are over engineered for noise suppression everywhere. A massive cast housing around the mechanism with the most insulation you are likely to see in any typewriter. An incredible escapement and carriage assembly. Too bad the 14 in carriage is such a load to lift.,

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
