It’s going to need some minor mechanical work and some serious cleaning, but this one has some great potential.

@chrisaldrich (not judging by any means, I have an embarrassing number of guitars at this point)

I’m hovering around the number 30, though a few are being de-acquisitioned to make some space… Too many more and I’ll have to open up a typewriter shop.
@chrisaldrich okay now I feel less bad about how many guitars I have

Happy to help!
If I’m not using them at least once a month, I tend to let them go. There are about 10 that are getting incredibly regular use every week, though a small handful that I’ve restored and more carefully tuned are used on an almost daily basis.
I’d almost forgotten I had aggregated a page for my typewriter collection and articles if you’re curious about the list or other details: https://boffosocko.com/research/typewriter-collection/
I installed the last two screws onto my 1956 Remington Standard (a pair of #8-32 3/4" zinc machine screws) to hold the rear cover onto the machine. It’s now more than ready for some daily action!
Replaced the old, crushed rubber body panel grommets on my 1956 Remington Standard typewriter with new ones.
