care for your typewriter.

care for your typewriter. my Underwood Finger-Elite turned out to be a debacle‚ as you might have read, the carriage return lever is severely broKen‚ the carriage has erratic errors and I also discovereä that the tab set arm is broken (a tiny tip has broken off)‚ but at least I got a manual with it - ior l CHF I don't want to complain. And this Handbuch, as we call it in german‚ includes a good advice: "clean your typewriter's typeslugs every evening" That makes sense. If we use a brush every evening to clean away the leftover inx and dirt, we possibly don't neeä to get out the toothpicks that often. And one thing is great about the defective Underwood‚ its typeslugs are perfectly clean. maschinengeschrieben blogspot Olympia SM—5 com
