Description:
Ongoing restoration. Body has surface rust that is currently undergoing white vinegar soak, but will likely need a repaint. Chassis and keylevers have rust. Will do more rust soaking, scrubbing and possible gun blue to return key levers to black color. Will try to remove as much rust as possible on the chassis.

Just an amateur typewriter enthusiast. I've been wanting to get back into typewriting for journaling and therapy. Initially I was just going to type, but learning to clean/fix/restore them myself has also been great for my mental health.
