Bienvenido a la guía definitiva de cuidado y mantenimiento para su máquina de escribir. Siguiendo estos sencillos pero eficaces pasos, podrá garantizar que su máquina se mantenga en excelentes condiciones de funcionamiento durante décadas , ofreciendo un rendimiento fluido y fiable.

Atención básica

1. Prevención del polvo

Consejos para prevenir el polvo

  • Mantén tu máquina de escribir cubierta o guardada en su estuche cuando no la uses.
  • Si se acumula polvo, sóplelo suavemente con aire comprimido o un cepillo suave.

2. Almacenamiento adecuado

  • Evite las zonas húmedas o mojadas para prevenir la oxidación y el moho.
  • Si se almacena a largo plazo, compruebe periódicamente si hay olores a humedad y ventílelo si es necesario.
  • Clima ideal: 40–80°F (4–27°C) con 30–50% de humedad.

Limpieza y mantenimiento

Limpieza de máquinas de escribir


3. Limpieza ligera

  • Limpie las superficies exteriores con un paño suave y seco .
  • Utilice un cepillo suave o aire comprimido para limpiar entre las teclas y los mecanismos.
  • Para piezas cromadas o de níquel, utilice alcohol isopropílico o un pulidor de metales suave .
  • Evite aplicar cera sobre acabados de pintura texturizada; podría dañar la superficie.

4. Lubricación

  • Utilice aceites ligeros (por ejemplo, Liquid Bearings, aceite para máquinas de coser, aceite para husillos) con moderación.
  • Evite el exceso de aceite, ya que atrae el polvo.
  • Nunca engrase las barras de tipos ni los pistones.
  • Los disolventes minerales o los lubricantes especializados pueden ayudar a aflojar las piezas atascadas.

5. Sustitución de la cinta

  • Reemplace la cinta cada pocos meses o cuando la impresión se vuelva tenue.
  • Los modelos más recientes de máquinas tienen un sistema de carga de cinta simplificado; consulte su manual.

Manipulación y operación

6. Uso del carruaje

  • Devuelva el vagón con cuidado; nunca lo cierre de golpe.
  • Compruebe y ajuste los márgenes periódicamente para un movimiento fluido.
  • Asegure o bloquee el vagón durante el transporte o el almacenamiento .

7. Cuidado del rodillo

  • Nunca deje el papel sujeto en la platina durante mucho tiempo; puede dañar los rodillos .
  • Utilice la palanca de liberación de papel para liberar la tensión durante el almacenamiento.

Solución de problemas comunes

8. Problemas con la banda de tracción

  • El problema mecánico más común es que la correa de tracción se deslice o se rompa.
  • Normalmente es una reparación menor ; se puede ajustar o reemplazar rápidamente.

9. Problemas mecánicos

  • Para teclas atascadas, espaciado irregular o atascos del carro, comience con la limpieza y la lubricación.
  • Los problemas persistentes pueden requerir servicios profesionales o soporte virtual.

Mantenimiento profesional

10. Chequeos médicos regulares

  • Haga revisar su máquina de escribir por un profesional cada pocos años , especialmente si la usa con frecuencia.

11. Encontrar un técnico

  • Muchas ciudades aún cuentan con técnicos especializados en máquinas de escribir antiguas para su reparación y restauración.

El ritmo de las teclas

  • El uso regular mantiene tu máquina de escribir en buen estado : escribe al menos una página cada uno o dos meses .
  • Esto distribuye la lubricación, evita la rigidez de las piezas y garantiza un funcionamiento óptimo.

Preguntas frecuentes (FAQ)

¿Qué mantenimiento básico necesito realizar?

¡Muy poco! Manténgalo limpio, cubierto y ligeramente aceitado (solo cuando sea necesario). Evite la acumulación de polvo y cambie la cinta con regularidad.

¿Con qué frecuencia debo cambiar la cinta?

Cada 2 a 6 meses, dependiendo del uso y la preferencia de oscuridad de impresión.

¿Qué ocurre si algo deja de funcionar?

Ofrecemos asistencia y resolución de problemas virtual. La mayoría de los problemas, como el deslizamiento de la correa de ajuste, se solucionan fácilmente con nuestra ayuda.

¿Necesito engrasar mi máquina de escribir con frecuencia?

No. El exceso de aceite puede causar daños. Basta con una ligera aplicación cada pocos años o cuando la máquina se sienta rígida.

¿Qué ocurre si mi máquina huele a humedad?

Esto suele deberse a fundas o estuches viejos. Déjelo ventilar en un lugar seco y evite guardarlo en espacios húmedos.

¿Puedo almacenarlo a largo plazo sin que se dañe?

Sí. Afloje la tensión del rodillo, guárdelo en un clima estable y revíselo cada pocos meses.

Slim. Racy. Shiny chrome fenders. If we're going back to the Fifties, I plan to fake it 'til we make it: typing recipe cards and indexes, letters and notes-to-self. Thank you for your service with a smile.

I would like to highly recommend this vendor, the product arrived as described and on time. I needed it to arrive by a certain time for a birthday gift and they were accommodating and responsive. The typewriter arrived on time and beautifully wrapped, even with a little typed “Happy Birthday” note. I'm very pleased with the purchase and would without question buy from them again - thank you so so very much!!!

My Olivetti typewriter was delayed in shipping (through no fault of the seller) but when it arrived it was expertly packaged for shipping and arrived in excellent condition. When I contacted the seller about the delay in its arrival, the customer service immediately contacted the shipper and they were able to give me an updated estimate on the arrival date.
The typewriter is beautiful and fun to use.

Shipping took longer than expected. But this cover fits my Olivetti Pluma 22 perfectly and is very high quality!

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter!...

This is an absolutely stunning typewriter! It is in excellent condition, and the sellers included a Tolkien quote and a cute typewriter pin! It comes with an instruction manual, which was helpful as this is my first typewriter.

The shipping to the USA took approximately 1.5 months longer than predicted. I don't blame the sellers for this, as they posted the typewriter in the post VERY quickly. The wait was worth it. Fortunately this typewriter just for personal use - if purchased as a gift, buy VERY early.

The only bummer was the installed typewriter ribbon being almost completely dried out - I purchased a new typewriter ribbon today but am sad that I can't use my typewriter until it arrives.

The sellers are AMAZING. They have been very helpful and kind. This is the only shop I'd consider for purchasing a typewriter.

Anita and Jacek were determined to make sure the typewriter arrived safely, and they took the time to call and troubleshoot some shilling issues. When the typewriter finally arrived, it was everything I hoped it would be. It was in beautiful condition and worked like a dream. I can't wait to get full use out of it!

The whole experience was so outstanding that I don't know where to start. My typewriter is incredible, in extraordinary good shape, packaged with lots of care. I had the typewriter delivered to the hotel where I was staying in Madrid and the whole shipping process was very smooth and the communication with the store super efficient and friendly. I will buy from them again!
