Cleaning and Servicing in Arvada and the Denver metro
A typewriter that types but feels stiff, prints filled-in letters, or occasionally hesitates usually does not need a repair; it needs a proper service. Our standard service is the same routine that shops performed annually when typewriters were office equipment: a thorough cleaning of the segment and mechanism, careful lubrication of the points that actually need it, cleaning of the type faces, and a check of every function from margin release to ribbon reverse.
What this service covers
- Segment and typebar degreasing so keys move freely
- Type slug cleaning for sharp, legible impressions
- Cleaning and inspection of feed rollers, platen, and paper bail
- Lubrication of pivot points and carriage rails with the correct oils
- Full function test, ribbon check, and minor adjustments
What to expect
We recommend a professional service every few years for a machine in regular use, or immediately for any machine that has been stored for a long time before being put back to work.
