Congratulations, that looks interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing the spa day pictures.

Thanks for the link to Robert Messenger's post on the old Glasgow factory, some wonderful photos.

Spa-day work completed in my garage today before the afternoon heat sets in.

I cleaned around it with the carriage still on the machine.  I could not see an easy way to lift off the carriage...so took the hint to clean-in-place.

If anyone know how the carriage lifts-off...I would appreciate the info.  More than likely will probably call this one "clean enough".

It is a great standard typewriter on which to type.  Has a light & responsive feel like my Facit T2 has. 
Most cowlings are metal with some bits of plastic for trim.  Very solid and heavy standard for the desk.  Glad I added this one to  our home.

I have two keys along the right side that are still slow to return.  Will go after those with some PB Blaster in the segment-slots for these keys for a  day or so.  I squirted their linkages and will let it sit in the garage for a day or so and will look at cleaning the segment slot for these 2 keys a bit more, then.

Items that I sorted out included :  Tab bar getting stuck on its return stroke, speed spacer key-top was crooked/bent, right & left margin sets were all gummed up.

Upper/lower case alignment was perfect and needed no attention.

Oops, I just read your earlier entry of specs and not quite so heavy after all. 

After some generous dosing with PB Blaster and airing out in the garage for nearly 1 week, I gave it a last flush with denatured alcohol to flush out the PB Blaster...and now it takes its turn on  my desk for 2-3 days.
