The day I bought my typewriter at the Goodwill I also found this gem. Here's the super easy process I  used to give it a new life!
Picture
First thing is to remove the hardware and sand it
Then I painted it with acrylic paint and a foam brush from Michaels.
It took about 1 1/2 bottles.
Picture
I applied 3 coats. 
While everything was drying, I sprayed goo gone on the handles to get rid of the gunk, I let it soak in for about 20 minutes, but when I went to wash it off it didn't do anything. But it worked out, because when I decided to sand the gunk off, the metal started poking through and it was beautiful. (See final pic)
Picture
After drawers and box was dry I sanded all the edges and a bit throughout for a distressed look.

Screwed the hardware back on and viola!!
