A gathering of personal resources, as well as generic ones I use all the time. Great material to get you started with using and maintaining your typewriters.

Parts (Feet/Knobs)

Note: do not buy rubber products from the Type Space in Portland. They are dishonest and misrepresent their work, and the quality is extremely poor. Low quality materials, lots of bubbles and holes, and and super flimsy construction.
