       | Very cool. The article talks about typewriter repair as a dying
       | craft. This is no joke. In had a Hermes 3000 restored about 8
       | years ago, and even then there were only 2 shops in the LA area,
       | and they charged an arm and a leg for the work. Totally worth it
       | though.
