Hello, Phoenixtypewriter.com here We just finish repairing & restoring this Royal Manual Standard Typewriter from the 1940's. Came to our shop in poor condition, carriage wouldn't move freely & was squeaking bad. Line lock wouldn't disengage, common for the inner rubber spacer to compress & then that causes the linkage to bind. Carriage trouble was just flush & relube bearings & clean all rails. # 2 type link was broken, this is about a 1" link & common too, replaced. Flush magic margins for smooth operation. Bunch of the steel levers were bent, realigned all. Replaced paper bail rollers. Clean type-slug (faces) & type segment thoroughly. Wash/scrub all black case parts & panels, Repeat 3X. Polish & shine/wax detail. Clean all rollers & platen & paper pan etc. Removed & replaced inner rubber spacers, clean & reassemble. Type rest was severely grooved so we removed & reverse side for a flat new surface. Lid was not closing correct, adjusted stops & replaced missing rubber bumpers, perfect. Rewound fresh black & red ribbon onto the vintage metal ribbon spools for a retro look. Fine tune & test (funnest part). If you need help or advice on any typewriter just contact us. 602-992-7611
