That is so cool! Yes! It was a very fun process, highly recommend if you have things laying around. I collect typewriters but this was the only one that didn’t look as cool as the others so I gave it a makeover.
Is it a manual or electric? I’d say, get it to working order. If you need help with finding parts, I think you can get creative. I needed a new belt, so I just ordered a custom one. I replaced rubber feet with some rubber I found at the hardware store. clean it all out and scrub the keys with a toothbrush. You may want to use a pin to clean out any gunk stuck in the keys. I pulled the entire casing out so I didn’t have to cover up any hardware. If that’s the case for you, then I’d recommend sanding and thoroughly cleaning it off, coat very lightly and evenly and let it dry completely before the next coat. It make take you the whole weekend but it’s worth it. Then coat it. If you have any other Q’s just HMU. 
Good luck!!

When I read the title of your post, I already had a mental image of the typewriter. This looks better than I could have imagined. Great job.

That looks amazing! I kinda miss typing on a Typewriter, it feels kinda good. Probably why I like mechanical keyboards.
