Oiling a typewriter help requested.

I am new to typewriters.
After I cleaned my first typewriter I proceeded to oil it.
I was under the impression that this is what was needed. I used too much oil. I sprayed it in and in all the wrong areas.

I have since learned that these machines are made to basically run dry except for certain key areas.
And I now remember the pipette that came with my first typewriter.

But knowing not to do something is a far cry from knowing how to do something properly.

Are there any videos out there explaining this process?
I realize that why machines are all different they must have similar components so an video could help.
In leau of this I would certainly appreciate your comments and input.

Re: Oiling a typewriter help requested.

There is an "Oiling Tips" section in the dunk cleaning thread, and Part Four also mentions places to oil.


The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
