Though I now get to deal with the added bonus of a cracked front frame due to a rather poor shipping job, this little Fox has joined the collection, and is due for a deep, deep, deep cleaning and restoration. Rust everywhere, typebars wont even budge. But it's all there, and with enough Evaporust, steel wool, and patience, it will look wonderful when its all said and done.
And it's serial number 757, to boot. I like the early machines.
For once, I remembered to take the "Before" pictures of a bunch of spots of the machine, so that y'all can see the difference. Huzzah!
Ouch, that does look bad, but I know you can heal it!
ReplyDeleteNice pickup - I'm betting you'll have it shipshape in no time (:
