Oliver 9 overhaul disassembly
I am seeking advice on how to disassemble an Oliver 9 Typewriter (serial number 709425). I have already removed the carriage, draw cord, mainspring drum, front cover, ribbon spools, keys, and the “shifting platform” that the carriage rides along and which also holds the escapement. At this point I am uncertain as to the correct procedure to remove the typebars and key levers. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Re: Oliver 9 overhaul disassembly
I don't have any first-hand experience with an Oliver tear down, but have you contacted the owner of this website? Maybe he can be of help?

Re: Oliver 9 overhaul disassembly
You may find typewriter blogger Words Are Winged's posts on re-assembly of an Oliver 11 helpful. It is very similar to an Oliver No. 9 and could give you some insight into the order of disassembly:

Do You Want to Build an Oliver? Part 4
Do You Want to Build an Oliver? Part 5
