I just got one of these and an estate sale for $10… It looks in good condition. One thing I notice is wrong is the winding band is broken… So when you type the deck doesn’t move to the left after you hit the keys. It’s just one band that’s broken. That normally is on a rotating wheel How can you ever fix something like this and is it worth it?
If the drawband isn't broken you can wind up the main spring and reattach it. Very routine fix. If the string is broken you'll have to buy a new one ore make one yourself.
