just like when you start over from the origin with a classic car restoration, fixing up this typewriter is about appreciating the craft and the individual touch it brings to each letter. people often decry the move away from these mechanical marvels, but there's something about the pre-committal rhythm and order of striking keys that modern tech can't replicate. each typewriter, like a rare car, tells the story of its maker and its owner, making each piece a unique testament to the individual's journey.
