Description:

Has not run in decades.
Sticky, but did function enough to create a typeface.
Inside full of Tipp-Ex residue, needs a good cleaning.
The foam soundproofing falls apart when you touch it.

First cleaning done, years of accumulated deposit removed from the cover.
Also removed the foam on the inside, preventing it from falling into the mechanical parts underneath.
It cleaned up rather nicely, no traces of tape and Tipp-Ex box adhesive left.

Hello,
Typerwriterfan from the Netherlands, recently bought a few typewriters again and started cleaning and adjusting them.
I haven't touched a typewriter in a long time, but it's fun working with them again.
This is a great database and I will try to contribute too.

Have a nice day,
