I'm new to this particular hobby, I used a can of air duster to try and dust it off and that seemed to help a bit, but I'm not sure how to proceed next. Most of the keys in the number row don't work (other than 6, for some reason), keys often get stuck... I got this alongside a Touchmaster II which also likes to stick a lot. I need to clean off the corrosion and dust more thoroughly but idk how to disassemble this thing beyond removing the front plate and the ribbon covers. Haven't replaced the ribbon yet. tAny advice would be much appreciated! I have a big can of Zippo fluid, which according to Google is the best thing to use to clean it, but since the internet is full of AI junk I wanted to ask an actual person how to do it properly. What parts do I need to be extra careful with, how do i take parts off to make it easier to access the internals, and how do I properly clean it enough that it works reliably?

p.s. fun fact, this typewriter (as well as my touchmaster II that I mentioned) came from the newsroom of the Province, the second most circulated newspaper in my home province of BC!
