Yep, just got it. Needed a cursory cleaning and brushing of the type slugs. Also, the shift key was bent. Aside from that, it types like a champ. The only thing I don't like is the small return lever. I find myself struggling with it at times.

Unfortunately, no. I'm still amazed how well it works after decades of disuse.

Just curious, how do you know that it hasn't been used for decades?
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
