Trying to clean a typewriter is no easy thing.

@literary No, I don't imagine it would be!

@charlesg A while back, I found a lovely older Smith-Corona for five bucks. I finally have it set out on my desk, but wow, does it need a cleaning (among other things). It's such a pain, haha.

@literary Good luck, and post a pic of it when you're done!

@charlesg Of course! There's a picture on Instagram that I posted right after I got it (if you're interested). Once I get it cleaned and get new ink ribbons, I'll post another :)

@literary Oh, I must have missed it!

@charlesg Maybe! But you've been quite busy :)

@literary Ah I remember that!!! It's really cool

@charlesg I wish you could've seen my reaction when I saw it was only $5, haha.

@literary @charlesg Smith-Corona, nice. I'm lusting after an Olympia in a junk shop. £65.

@jvk @charlesg A friend of mine told me about a store in New York that sells vintage typewriters. I forget the name now, but I very much want to visit there. It's a good thing I dont have much money. I'd come home with five typewriters!

@literary @charlesg That looks fantastic. Wish I'd had a better guidebook when i was in NY.
