Re: Remington Deluxe (Model 5) In-Coming
Here is a photo-scan from the User Manual showing how this model has rigid metal bars with interlacing gears for each of the type-bars/key-lever mechanism.
On most of my other makes/models, you see a wire-link in the middle and not the "geared" set-up.
I think this set-up lends to a bit different-feeling of the typing-action that takes a bit of getting use to.
Think I will go back into the machine (with covers off) to see if all these gears need a bit more cleaning,

Re: Remington Deluxe (Model 5) In-Coming
Lacquer thinner and compressed air got rid of remaining gunk around the geared interfaces.
I also added a tad of "Tri-Flo" grease at each geared interface.
Now I am not slowing myself down waiting for the type-bars to return to their rest positions.

Re: Remington Deluxe (Model 5) In-Coming
Another machine like mine running on SGW this week.
It is missing its ribbon-spool "caps" and its case will need some repair work.
