I would have preferred to polish the bell off the machine but I don’t have a long enough screwdriver to go in all the way from the opposite side of the typewriter. Brasso and wet & dry paper. Carefully, slowly turning the bell. The metal is pitted from the rust but so far it’s looking a lot nicer.
Shinning those bells adds a nice touch to those old typewriters. The pitting is impossible to remove without severe polishing and replating.

Nice! I should look at my Underwood bell and see if it needs a spa treatment!
