It was seemingly haunted, spontaneously typing repeated "5"s when it was turned on. Cleaning and degreasing gummy lever connections cleared up the problem and the typewriter now types properly.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
