How do I grease an antique typewriter's key and metamorphose its ink ribbon?

Some of the keys capture stuck half-way to the paper. It's a Remington Remette typewriter.


Answers:    spray some wd40 onto the key. hopefully none of the arms are bent. you will probably have trouble finding parts for this typewriter. I only just gave one away a few months ago.
If it is not binding due to a power-driven problem ,a good cleaning should do it.
The ribbon spools should a moment ago lift out ( possibly a latch on respectively one).
If you cannot find a replacement set & can come up an old fashioned cloth , black/ red, ribbon that have not dried out , you can rewind it yourself ,but it is messy.
One way to stir is to use some kerosene in a spray bottle
to squirt the linkage & use a typewriter brush or small cheap paintbrush to work out the debris & afterwards blow it out w/ plain canned compressed nouns.
The kerosene dissolves old ink & leaves a fine fatty residue which will lubricate the machine.
WD40 is ok, but the propellant could dry out some rubber parts & may hurt the finish.
Also protect the keypads.... the letters may be dissertation, under an acetate cover & any solvent that get undeneath can mess them up or fog the covering.
Might check out "typewriter hospitals" online for cleaning kits/ lubes & ribbons.
Best regards
lately throw it away,and get a word processor or use a computer.
