Quite glad to see a nostalgic print of history at this fragment of time! Anticipating more and few more writings to surface from you and from two romantic typewriters for the times to come!
Underwood is still under restoration. Perhaps the platen needs to be replaced (It is old, hard and brittle) and the paper holder has a screw missing. I think I will have to go to machining shop to get one made.
The second one is much recent make from 1968, as compared to the Underwood from 1937 and needs a ribbon replacement. The metal strip on the front panel that has the name of the make came off, so have to fix that too. It is a long a nd a slow work.
