A Milepost

When I started to type I thought the TP2 was finished.  That was until the ribbon would not automatically reverse.

I found this folded and tucked into the pouch on the inside of the carrying case.  I think this officially finished the TP2.

After I finished the first part of today's post I sat at the Facit and typed anything I could think of and tried all kinds of things to see what else is going to stop working on this typewriter.  So far only the margin release does not work correctly.  It did earlier.  It no longer works.  I think it may be the stronger spring I placed on the bell ringer.  I do not like the silent bells on either of my Facits.  They are more silent than the bell on my Remington Noiseless Model 7.
I have several European typewriters and none of them have a decent sounding bell.  Hermes may be the loudest, but those still fall short of the American made machines, even Skyriters.

I was surprised to find a typewriter cover for the TP2.  I don't think it will get much use as I only leave the Underwood Rhythm Touch out.  I wish I had a cover for that one.  I have one for each of my Royal HHs. 

Let the Insurgency live on....at least until the next milestone 100k,  Long Live the Insurgency.
