1939 Corona Standard speedline - how to remove platen?
Hello - working on a speedline corona standard, and I need to remove the platen. Before I jump in and start experimentally unscrewing, could anyone offer instructions on this process? This model does not have a plunger in the centre of its left knob, as is the case with later silent or clipper models.
Thanks!

woops, nevermind - I figured it out. For future reference for all, unscrew screw on right knob; remove right knob; unscrew 2 smaller screws around right platen collar; remove platen by pulling with left knob and carefully pushing platen rod in from right side. Platen comes out on the left. Don't lose the variable line spacer clips within the left side of the platen once the platen rod has come out of its left end.
