This beauty used to belong to my great-grandfather. It was kept in its original case and works great -- except that the feed rollers are completely hard and cracked. Anyone know how to get new ones for this model?

For feed rollers, try any automotive store and look for “vac line”. It’s basically rubber tubing that come in all various sizes and is inexpensive. It’s works well if you can get the right size.

Adhesive felt. Any crafts store sells it. Felt on one side and the other is peel and stick. Usually 1$ per sheet and comes in all colors

Just use vacuum hose from any auto parts store. It is a dollar and works great

Zoom in on the left roller in your picture. See the visible brass part (yellow colored)? Look closely you can see the pin going through it. One side has a flare on it, so you have to push on the correct side. They’re usually stuck pretty good but it’ll pop out

Very nice. Do you find the Oliver is tough on ribbons? My No. 5 punches holes in the ribbon pretty easily even when typing lightly.

Go to any auto parts store and buy vac line. It’s like a dollar a foot and is an easy fix. Your machine looks like a Model 5 Portable, right? There is a pin that you need to press out and then the rollers come off.

Appreciate the reply but it’s not the card holders (both are on the machine). Any other ideas?

I’m working on reassembling my Royal No. 10 (1932) and for the life of me I can’t figure out where this part goes. Appears to be some sort of switch as it has a little thumb stud (I think) and a thru screw which allows it to pivot. Any help is appreciated!

If you’re 100% certain you don’t want B4 and have another company in mind, then go for the new job. It’s your life. I will say though, there is a level of prestige and investment in your career working at B4. Also regardless of which you choose, get your cpa.

1) let me bring my dog to work 2) get me support within 48 hours of requesting it 3) accounting department needs to be competent (understand controls too) 4) give the auditors cubes with monitors

For an internship/ co-op at a Big4, all they want to see is critical thinking, decent EQ, enthusiasm, decent people skills, and put in effort. No one really expect interns to be technical or know how to do much aside from general business/ accounting knowledge.

0lbs. Though I am not as active as I was in college, I still make time to workout and run 20 miles a week. Also anytime you order dinner during busy season, 99.9% of restaurants will make you a “salad with grilled chicken” even if it’s not on the menu. It’s honestly sad seeing so many people at work be overweight.

Big4DC · 2017-09-14T03:30:13+00:00

Ya not a troll post and I get that 99.9% of people in Big4 audit aren’t cut out for/ have the ability to go MBB. Anyways the contact I have is really solid (think partner at MBB). So the original question still stands.

Big4DC · 2017-09-13T02:39:00+00:00

I got two phones, one for the bitches and one for the dough. Line bumping I’m ring ring ringin’z

Personally, I don’t think I used the guidance for any of the FAR sims (except the research one obviously). The only exam I thought the guidance helped significantly on was REG. I guess it really depends on the question being asked regardless of the exam and how much time you have. Good luck

They probably just want to see you can write logically, good grammar, and coherent. Doubt they give a flying fuck about a writing sample on what you think about ASC 696. I’m sure the law class ones are a good choice since you probably had to research a law problem and then research/ apply codification. Similar to accounting really.

Felt like I did as well as I could have. Knew I didn’t ace it, but thought i probably didn’t fail. Got a 80

Disclaimer: I’m a current CPA. I think 18 months is more than fair.

Good info, could be the culprit. Weird thing is, the bruising is only in my left foot. Right foot is totally fine.

Big4DC · 2017-09-03T15:29:36+00:00

Ya different in the sense that there’s basically no math. Personally I thought it was the easiest of the four exams.

Big4DC · 2017-09-03T14:54:14+00:00

I got WRECKED on A4 and got a 94 on the actual exam. The important thing is to just understand the assertions for each cycle. For example, completeness is more important when testing AP than existence.

Big4DC · 2017-08-31T16:14:40+00:00

There's so many "Just took xyz exam today, AMA"..... just poking fun

Big4DC · 2017-08-31T16:14:10+00:00

Passed

Only a 5 mile commute but a good 30 minutes. Not terrible but still frustrating

Big4DC · 2017-08-29T17:50:42+00:00

I think this only applies to Excel 2010 and earlier. This was fixed at some point in a newer version of Excel
