You make me wish I had one. I'm working on my Corona 3's drawstring. When I got it, it was snapped. What a pain in the rear this is to fix. On an Underwood 5 it looks way easier.

Well i looked under the keys and saw  orange and white where the white are. Meaning...I put the typer on it's back and looked at the keys. theres like a quarter of the paper showing. Like its made like that.

The part all move and stuff. So i dont need to take it all part. The parts are tarnished and they need a metal polish. Do you know why the keys on my Corona are white,orange and dark orange?

   Here's my new addition to my collection. This baby was very very caked with dust.....rust.what ever you can think of. Even hair from what it appears to be a stuffed animal. I bought this for $30 on craig's list.
   The pics you wil see shows that I already have done a ton of work on this. Pretty much the rust is off this. It needs the paint restored, a new carriage string, maybe a new platen, and I need some rubber heat shrink tubing to put rubber on the roller. I was using a wire brush to clean every piece of metal from inside to out. It will a big pain to put a new carriage string on. Here's some pics.





 

I'm agreeing with Uwe. I like the way the 35' universal looks. It has that old school vibe to it. But, choose what ever you to start out. I mainly have Royals untill I get more typewriters.
