One day of rest and things began to stick… so out on the desk and insert a page and type… type… type and the more I typed the better the flow. This 59 year old will work itself back into trim in no time at all.

Gee, I’m glad you are finding the Studio 44 as much of a dream machine as I do! If the stiff action persists, a drop of the lightest lube might help on the slider thing. More info here.
I try a solvent first – sometime it removes the gunk causing the lazy keys. if that doesn’t work, then a bit of silicon lube on the end of a toothpick.
