Mission possible? Restoring the typewriter

Lin Kiat gave me a wonderful present last Christmas (thanks to his sister, Christine, who found it in New York City) - an antique red typewriter. We've yet to find a professional restorer of typewriters in Singapore. Mine still has its case and most parts intact.

I hope to get it to look like this one day.

Fascinating!

For this sort of thing, you might have to look in an 'older' part of Singapore. I don't know why, but I'm thinking of Chinatown.

If I hear of anyone, I'll let you know.

Yeah, I will have a look in Chinatown next time I'm back. I would think of Chinatown too, somehow. Well, let me know if you know of anyone! Thanks, Van.
