	For cord-like drawbands, kite string, heavy duty fishing line, and hemp wick have been known to be suitable replacements within the typewriter community. It is advisable to maintain a similar thickness in the replacement as the original.

 Metal parts that have failed most often need to be sourced from parts machines, or machined by a machinist or machine shop. Otherwise, 3D printed plastic parts can provide a temporary solution until the part wears out, depending on use of the part.
 Springs are considered "metal parts," but are normally very generic and can be replaced more or less approximately. Many "weak spring" problems aren't actually any fault of the spring, but a slow/sticking pivot. In the case that the spring has actually lost tension, loops of the spring may be cut off and new loops folded to restore the original shape of the spring, but shorter and with more tension as a result.

-Most often, metal parts that have failed need to be sourced from parts machines, or machined by a machinist or machine shop.
+Most metal parts that have issues won't be broken, just bent. Instructions on forming/bending parts back to the correct shape while minimizing risk of marring or breaking parts can be found [not here yet].
 == Rubber & Plastic Parts ==
 Almost all rubber parts are susceptible to deterioration simply due to time. This includes platens, feed rollers, grommets, bumper pads, and feet.
-D printing in TPU can provide suitable replacements for some rubber parts.
+Grommets, o-rings, and bulk rubber sheets can be very useful in replacing old rubber. For more specialized rubber parts, 3D printing in TPU can provide suitable replacements.
