In this video, I take apart and clean a 1939 Royal Arrow typewriter. This machine had a lot of corrosion, grease buildup, and grime, so it needed a good cleaning and polishing. Some of the type links were bent, causing uneven type bars. After hours of careful work, I'm happy to say this machine is working like new again!
