So my parents dug up an old typewriter one of them had, and gave it to me. I'd like to restore it, probably my main project this summer.

If it helps, it's an old SCM Smith-Corona Galaxie II portable typewriter. I think my dad got it in the sixties or something. 

The ribbon is dried up and some of the keys stick, but its super easy to get them back down again. That's the only two problems I see right off the bat, but of course it's old and I'm expecting major problems lurking behind the surface; considering this is my first one and it's special to me, I'd like to take good care of it.

Anybody have any tips?
