GrumpyTim | Retro Tech - Imperial Good Companion Typewriter Part One, Restoration and Repair @GrumpyTim | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
In this Retro Tech / Vintage Tech video we'll look at and repair a 1961 Imperial Good Companion Model 6 typewriter that had a tangled carriage draw cord (or string), sticking keys, a few loose parts and a dried out ribbon. It also required a good clean along the way.

Skip to 1:16 for the carriage draw cord repair.
Skip to 11:50 for the ribbon replacement.

This video is part one of two - in part two we'll show the restored typewriter and have a look at it's features - You can see part two here:
