[Challenge & Achievement] Update 2: mechanical type writer

Here is a small update on the typewriter. The keyboard is assembled. It was a bit complicated at times. I had to read the manual three times to figure out what was supposed to be done. There are small springs on the back that were tricky to attach, but after a bit of fiddling, I managed it.

When installing the hooks, it is important to pay close attention to which side to attach them from. The black hooks are attached from the right side, and the silver ones from the left side.

This definitely seems complicated. It must be hard assembling so many keys. You did a great job with it though.
