[GreenKeys] platen refurbishing

[airrelic at juno.com]

Sounds like I need to buy a new tool. I think it would be valuable to know thehardness of platens, might point to potential failure. Definitely keep us in theloop! If he is that reasonable I may have some work for him.

It was rock hard, and the type bars were perforating the paper, even when I backed the typing force adjustment as much as possible.? The guy doing the restoration says that the platen currently measures a 100 Shore-A, which is the same as "modern" (lol) Selectric typewriters.? He says older typewriters used a 90 Shore-A material, but claims that the softer material could allow perforation of the paper and ribbon, which is exactly the problem I'm having now...? Does anyone have an opinion on this?? I'll keep you all apprised of how this works out...? His prices seem pretty reasonable.? Thanks,Keith
