For some reason, blogger seems to mess with image's brightness/contrast. I'll try to balance that before I upload the next typecasts.

Thank you Teeritz for all the information you provided!

 THE TYPEWRITER AS I GOT IT - BEFORE CLEANING

 The ribbon looks worse than it is. Cleaned the spools, sprayed a bit of WD40 over the whole lenght of the ribbon, and it's doing its job beautifully!
