Metal Parts
Most often, metal parts that have failed need to be sourced from parts machines, or machined by a machinist or machine shop.
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.
3D printing in TPU can provide suitable replacements for some rubber parts.
A list of 3D files for parts organized by Theodore Munk can be found at https://3dtypewriterparts.com/.
