Mercedes; vroom vroom

By

OK, this is no car yet a very nice typewriter. A customer machine in for a new platen, new paper rollers, new feet and a general tune up. The decal are superb.

Nothing special here. Just your classic Underwood 5 typewriter from the year 1927. This is a customer machine in for some well needed deferred maintenance. Dusty, sluggish, ribbon vibrator frozen, and paper rollers all goobered up. A good cleaning, oiling, new rollers and some adjustments and this doggy is back typing.

This particular beauty came to me for repair with bad feet (what is it with old worn shoes!), a stuck carriage, sticking keys, and the escapement mechanism frozen solid. If it wasn't for the perfect decals and no rust I would have recommended not even spending the money. In this case, I thought it would be well worth the effort. It needed a … [Read more...]
