Today I'm restoring a Swedish Facit mechanical pinwheel calculator from the late 1930s/early 1940s white labeled by R. C. Allen. At the moment number entry doesn't work, so this could get interesting.

We'll see if I can get this working without taking it apart any further.

With some cleaning and some oiling, I was able to get it fully working.
