I have the very same typewriter and it is still working, 65 years later (2022). It just won't give up !
Still use it to print address labels.
Actual keys ... Pre-Selectric Rotating Ball.

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books
