The type brushes past an ink roller before contacting the paper, which is fed to the narrow cylindrical platen..The ink roller sat on a spring that was attached to the fork that stands up from the base. The pieces are there as you can see in one photo: two springs and one roller. They would need to be attached and I have no idea as to how to do this. There is also an extra screw in the photo as well.It is a heavy little machine.If someone lives close by they could pick it up and save on postage if they wish.Has a wonderful Art Deco design, am told these were nickel-plated.Has brass plaque on read more
