    I'm still plugging away on restoring a Model 15.
It's mostly working now; all the mechanical functions
work and selecting is working well.  The print quality isn't
too good.

Things were somewhat bashed up in the type basket area.
The typebar guide was bent, so that typebars were hitting it,
and I suspect the machine was run in that state, damaging
the typebars.

    Jim Haynes is sending me a new type basket, and that
should give replacement typebars and a a typebar segment.

    Here's the whole history of the project, with
pictures:

    This has been instructive.  Although this is the fifth
machine I've restored, I've never had to take one apart
as far as I've had to take this one.
