New Yost renewed

Here's yesterday's find after I cleaned it, lubed it, touched up the paint, installed a new drawband (Kevlar kite string—very tough, but installing it on this typewriter is tricky), and polished. It is missing the wheel that runs along the front carriage rail. Anybody have a Yost parts machine??

  3. Magnificent casting, those ribs. And indeed, fast work!
    (would a small ball-bearing work? anyhow, hope you find a/the part )
