Hi Everyone,

I have a 1964 Olivetti Underwood 21 that requires occasional maintenance. Nothing major, just things like fiddling with the line lock mechanism, or forming the margin rack, or adjusting the bell clapper.

I was wondering, do I have a lemon machine, or is this kind of tweaking necessary from time to time on a 62-year-old machine that gets heavy use? (I'm writing a novel.)

Thanks.
