This calculator was bought in nearly mint condition. As often, it has probably been stored for decades because which of some parts didn’t easily move. After thorough cleaning and a bit of new thin oil it runs well again.
These photo’s were taken after a 2nd clean job. This and other mechanical machines tend to work well after a first maintenance job but after a year or so some parts tend to get sticky again. May I should use them more often :)
