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.

Typed rather triumphantly on my new Facit 1620.
