How to fix your Good Companion if you've sat upon it

The gaps where the arrows point shouldn't be there. Above, the lowercase is slightly off alignment on the left side. Below, the uppercase is significantly off alignment on the right side.

Above, a connecting piece like this was bent on each side. Below, remove these two screws on each side of the carriage to detach it from the frame.

Above, you can see the spring I added for extra tension on the carriage. Below, the screws to adjust case alignment. The upper one adjusts lowercase, the lower adjusts uppercase.

Thanks to Rob Bowker for the idea that this could have been sat on.

It was too fun not to use! (well not fun for the typewriter…)

Looking at it up close, the difference in weight can be seen, but the shorter serifs are a much more obvious difference between the W and the rest of the typeface.

No idea what I'm going to do with this case…I'm tempted to see what I can do with duck tape. XD
