Works smoothly except for one "@" key. Very clean and even has the former owner's name, a woman who took a Japan Airlines flight (Flt no. 005), Seat no. 47A. Her name is Kristina P. Nelson. Amazing!

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
