SELLER’S NOTE: ***Check out my page for more typewriters listed***
I try to get all my typewriters to be in working order. However, due to the age and nature of these vintage machines sometimes there may be some unforeseen issues that arise. If so, please feel free to reach out to me anytime and I can help fix the problem.
My machines have been cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted for optimal functionality. I try to mitigate the amount of cleaning materials used during in order to preserve the life and longevity of each machine.
- Cleaning
- Dust, ink, and grime are removed as much as possible.
- A soft brush and compressed air clear out debris from the type bars and chassis.
- Platen (rubber roller) is cleaned with a mild solvent to help restore grip.
- I try to limit the use of harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication
- Moving parts like the carriage rails, type bar pivots, and shift mechanism are lightly lubricated with typewriter-specific oil.
SHIPPING NOTE:
Shipments are all packed with bubble wrap and paper to ensure package is tightly secured to mitigate any damage during delivery.
