Having collected and restored many Monroe, Friden, and Sweda mechanical calculators & cash registers, I can tell you that without the service manual, it is extremely difficult or near impossible to reassemble a working device. There are so many intricacies and subtle mechanical timing steps that would never be considered without reading proper documentation. Regardless of whether this calculator worked or not, it’s still a beautiful restoration. I wish I had the means to sandblast my cases. I just clean them up as best I can.

Механическая счетно-вычислительная машина с электроприводом. Расцвет такой техники попал на 70-е годы. Я работал на предприятии по ремонту таких машин. Если в кабинете было пять, шесть человек, которые одновременно производили вычисления, шум стоял сильный. Реставрация произведена очень умело. Но, она чисто декоративная, без учёта выявления дефектов и устранения неисправностей. Я уже не говорю про проверку на правильность счета. Очень нравится педантичность выполнения работ и отсутствие ненужный слов. Автору респект!

Watching you removing the keys reminded of: Once I was fixing a well loved and lived VCR of a client, and had to take all apart to clean the literal dirt and check if it was just it. Teeny tiny parts, delicate pieces. All cleaned, time to reassamble! That's when I discovered my camera didn't save any photos of the process, so I didn't knew *how* to put it all together. And that's how it took me days to complete a job that usually takes 2 hours.

Now you should enlist a trained Monroe technician to make it work properly -- there might be a few old, retired guys who know how. Those gears, levers, and springs all need to be timed correctly. I'm a retired office equipment repairman -- typewriters, mostly. Saw lots of those old Monroes. All I could do was clean and oil -- the repairs I left for the Monroe guys. Good video though.

There are rectangular bars under the keyboard between each column of keys. They should have been painted red on alternate sides of the rectangle. They are visual aides to mark out columns on the keyboard. Each bar has a knob at the top to change the color, which would be visible through a rectangular window all the way down.

I have one of these still with a carrying case. It was the most popular calculators we had in our division. That was a little over 25 years ago. I can use it for basic addition and subtraction, but there is still much I never learned on it. It’s extremely reliable for determining roadway grades.

I worked one of these things in the early 70s before calculators (the Bowmar Brain) came out. The register would move back and forth and up and down for about 30 seconds to do a calculation but every business had this, especially banks. I think we called it a comptometer.

When I was a child ( about 7 or 8) we had a friend of the family that had a typewriter repair business in Houston. My mom's typewriter went out and we went to drop it off. While I was there, the owner let me go in the back ( after extracting a solemn promise not to touch anything.). I remember particularly a manual typewriter that he told me was a very high quality machine in its day. The machine dated from the late forties, and the cover was off. Easily one of the most complicated mechanisms I had ever seen ( to this day, to be honest). This was in the heyday of the typewriter ( late 60's) and there were machines everywhere. There was also a a calculator that was being repaired, and the technician ( a real enthusiast) was trying to explain to me how a machine could do calculations,. I think the last thing I understood was, now look at this. The rest was gibberish. But really interesting
