L.C. Smith Standard #8 from the Year 1918

September 8, 2020 By Paul

This big lunker of a L.C.Smith Standard #8 typewriter from the Year 1918 is a customers.

In for major clean up, a new platen, new paper rollers, new feet and removing decades of decrepitude.

This baby had a heavy layer of shellac which remarkably saved the decals.

Of course that stuff was smeared over much of the internals. Fortunately denatured alcohol works its wonder.

All in all a nice gift for a typewriter enthusiast.
