Re: The American Gallery
I made a final adjustment to the blue of the space bar. Went with a bit deeper hue...Krylon calls this colour "Lagoon Blue".
I also added a red Tab key-top from a parts Olivetti-Underwood 21 machine.

thanks!
I was surprised that it only needed to be cleaned inside and out, then light servicing. It works great and I've typed whole letters with it without flaws (except for operator error). The font is a little smaller than "elite" 12 cpi. I guess fonts were not standardized back then.

Shop Goodwill Auction for 14 dollars. Small repairs and adjustments, full service, runs great.
