Nothing beats a good black enamel mirror shine. Unless it’s a Malling Hansen…

I have just finished cleaning this beautiful typewriter and am having issues with the keys not fully pushing the type slugs into the paper. This results in the keys and the space bar requiring an unusual amount of force.

Just visited the Long Beach Antique Market and picked up this red QDL for 75. Once I got home, I realized this is an immaculate condition no paint chips whatsoever. Wow. And it goes great with my slightly more Beaten up blue QDL! Delicious.

Big day today, just got these two beauties and cleaned them up. Wow, that paint is incredible. The underwood was 33 after much persuasion and the Royal was 75. Do not miss your next local flea market as I always find interesting machines there.

I just got this Hermes baby that has its ribbon vibrator broken beforehand or in shipping, and the corosponding linkage missing aswell. Is welding possible? Or epoxy? And I also attempted to make a linkage with wire but it either raises the vibrator too high, covering the letters, or doesn’t lifti t high enough when typing. In dire need as this is for a gift in a week. Thank you!

I just got this Hermes baby, but there was nothing attaching the ribbon vibrator to any mechanism, and the vibrator was snapped in half. I can’t figure out how it’s supposed to connect and need it ready as a gift in a week. What do I do. I can weld stuff like that if necessary. this is a early Hermes baby with the grey paint and circle keys
