I am concerned about fixing this scratch from the return arm on the type basket cover. I certainly do not want to make it worse so I am wondering how to attact the area in general and if that has no effect how to approach the scratch. If normal remedies dont work would polishing compound be a consideration? I am not certain if the image was captured here. Thanks

Thanks very much..I appreciate the help ith the nomenclature. I ordered some and we will see how they look when I get them. Going to check out Robert G
Got there last week during time that I had asked originally. I have followed the method described. Now I need to address if I can use the rings, in a friction fit, where I broke a tab on some, maybe 2. Theres not a real resource for buying them short of having a parts machine. So, at least I am moving forward.

I hope this is an appropiate question for this section. I am trying to make the keys on a Undewood No 5 typewriter presentable. Some are so dirty that you need a flashlight. Is there any data on where I can access a printing program for the ones that i need? I am looking for this as I am not certain that they are sold on their own. Even to get the correct font or anything that I can grab onto. I basically am new at minor refurbishing so I thought this would be good to try. Then i thought about availibility.
thanks

I pick this up an Underwood Std No. 3 14" at auction and it came with a large metal cover that said Underwood-14. I have never seen one of these covers and am wondering if someone could shed some light on these covers.
Thanks

I am not sure of the term for the strap that acts with the mainspring to drive the carriage. Anyway I have this unit that the strap is completely disconnected from the typewriter and I have no idea how to put it back in place so it functions. I could use direction on how to fix. The carriage is in place and its not broken down. i would appreciate any help available.
thanks
Bill
