Evapo Rust looks to work much better than anything I tried in the past (except elbow grease and steel wool or ScothBrite pads).

You need 5 gallons, and probably a bit more (you can dilute it with water), in order to submerge an entire typewriter. That costs in the neighborhood of $100, but the stuff can be reused several times. Occasionally I've seen it for sale in dehydrated form on eBay, which is the most sensible way to ship the stuff, but usually it's in liquid form, which of course is heavy and shipping gets a bit pricey.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-90879291254484634112012-07-16T20:32:51.568-04:002012-07-16T20:32:51.568-04:00I have been meaning to purchase some of this produ...I have been meaning to purchase some of this product.

I'll just remove as much rust and dust as possible, and get it working if I can. I'll also try to replace the missing spacebar and shift key.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-84807758599962873362012-07-16T18:14:12.693-04:002012-07-16T18:14:12.693-04:00Evapo Rust appears to be a miracle product.
