| the old cable and new text |
spent a lot of time cleaning this old typewriter (finally, almost a year later, man, is my to do list old!) and in the process broke a cable. well, it was really just a twisted piece of waxed twine to pull the carriage along as one types, and it was seriously decades old, and had been "fixed" (knotted together) in a hack job in the past. new idea - old guitar string... and lots and lots and lots of patience and trials before i got it to work. new ribbon didn't really fit so i had to use an exacto knife to cut it to size. everyone was very curious about the work but they ended up asleep before i put the first piece of paper in.
