Cubic Blue Facit TP2

1967 Facit TP2 P559664











Screws for adjustments. Identical screws are found on the other side.

Mystery Solved! The Frozen Facit (Starring Facit 1620)

1970s Facit 1620 P620612














Ribbon Advance: Use it just at the tip

Ribbon Advance: Apply it at the point where the pin meets the disk. It will seep through.

Escapement wheel: Remove the type guide.
Escapement wheel: Apply right in between it and the carriage rail above.

Escapement wheel: Remove the perforated bottom cover.

Escapement wheel: Apply a generous amount inside the hole in the wheel.


I'm really hoping this can become a significant contribution for the good of all Facits, especially because as I've found it might actually happen to you after you've owned one for a while.

Typed rather triumphantly on my new Facit 1620.
