Description:
The JP-3 parade continues until they all type or are in the parts shed. Seven keys were broken along with the spacebar. The dial-a-type was taped inside the case.
This one was much easier than the 905. The only issue was the tab brake mechanism was stuck. This seems to be pretty common. It is easy to take out and flip it upside down for a PPB soak. Then clean it with some LT to get the brake pads residue free.

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 any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
