Typecasts In Exile: 3 Typewriters in 3 Days! :D :O

Picked up a set of snow boots, as it is now snowing. Had to find some real clean/lube to fix the Vodka mistake, and looks like the only thing from the local hardware store is WD-40 Professional (not the normal “water displacement” formula). That freed up the Sterling just fine. Hey look! An exclamation mark key instead of more fractions! :D I cleaned & lubed the Model O, but the escapement still doesn’t trip reliably, and the actuator just doesn’t seem to get pushed far enough to trip, so I think an adjustment is in order. Need my tools for that, though.

  1. Great finds! But I’m thinking the vodka works better on the typist than the typewriter!
