My typewriter is old and is covered in years of dust and gunk. I wondered if I should take it apart and give it a thorough cleaning. I'm just afraid that if I do I won't be able to put it back together properly. As it is now it is working with the exception of one key sticking.  Thoughts/advice?

Hi everyone!

My name is Leah. I have to admit I never thought much about typewriters before. I've always found them interesting but I admired from afar. Until I stumbled across one in an antique store. It was old and very obviously used and I had to have it.  The guy at the store could not tell me much about it.  I took it home and cleaned the dust off the surface and played around with it quite a bit. Some of the keys stick but it's in otherwise good condition and it works. After some research and finding the serial number I've discovered that I own a Royal KMM magic margin made in 1940. I love it and I want to take good care of it.  That's what brought me here.

I also can't wait to read and learn more about other models.
