Description:
Purchased this Studio 45 online pretty cheap, because I'm a sucker for script typeface. It was super clean, but had a terrifying secret: a broken main spring. It took every bit of patience to heat the spring and reshape the end of it to fit in the notch. Patience paid off, and this thing types really quick. I also replaced the brittle foam. Surprisingly enough, it didn't need any PB Blaster. I'm very tempted to throw some paint on it. I don't feel very inspired staring at the "hospital grey" body.
