A wonderful piece of engineering! 1/10 the parts of competing typewriters of the day and the spiritual predecessor of the IBM Selectric with it's type drum.

Do you know if there is a list of typewriter repair places across the US? I need to find a repair place for my portable Underwood that was purchased by my Grandfather in 1909. I would like to get it cleaned. I reinked the ribbon 20 years ago and you would not believe that it still works. I was wiping it down and accidentally caught a spring and it pulled a little. It still works though. I would really love to have it all cleaned up and looked at :) Thanks!

@nagaempress Well I can always work on your machine. I am a repairman after all. I would be happy to give you a list if you're not interested in my services.

Thank you for the video. I'v just bought a Blick #5 with a qwerty keyboard on ebay for $90. Can't wait to get it and clean it up. I'v just learned that you can use a modern adding machine ink roller on a blick . Beautiful machine you have. I like it.

@clockbuilderhg You are most certainly welcome! Yes I have heard that as well about the rollers, but I make my own rollers. Congrats on the good find.
