That looks great (mostly)! I have got to get a fresh impression strip for my own Folding. What did you use as a replacement?

Aha. Thanks!
Very nice Multiplex. The interchangeable shuttles are really cool. Way ahead of their time.
I just finished a post on mine. I wish mine typed, it needs work. I need to put a new impression strip on mine too. So far I have been to cheap to get the one from the fellow on Ebay.

Just read your post and you have great pictures and once you get it working those shuttles will add to the pleasure.
