Description:
Korean-made copy of the Silver-Seiko basket-shifted portable. Thai/Siamese keyboard.
Yes, the typebars are bent that way on purpose. there's *2* type guides and the segment slots are best described as "irregular". It all works fine, though, despite an intimidating amount of white rust to clean up before anything at all would move..
RaRo 633 Siamese Elite.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Marathon 910 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Marathon Serial Number page and the Marathon 910 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
