This is what a Model 15 looks like when it is taken apart. When I got this machine I just wasnt happy with how dirty it was so I decided to take it apart and clean it up.  I broke the machine down as far as I could including disassembly of the main shaft and selector mechanism. I used laquer thinner to get the old grease and grime off the main frame and other large parts. I also used my ultrasonic cleaner to clean a lot of the little parts, it does a great job. I was lucky enough to get it back together and it works great. I want to refinish the table and repaint the cover with teletype black wrinkle paint.
