Burroughs Standard Typewriter Brought Back To Live Again

March 1, 2023 By Paul

This is a customer’s Burroughs Standard Typewriter brought in for repair and service. It was totally frozen up. This sucker did not move an inch.

Reminded me of those burros you see on the trail refusing to budge.

After copious penetrating oil campaigns the carriage finally started to move.

After that it was a ton of solvent cleaning and detailed attention to everything previously stoved up.

Turned out pretty nice.
