Description:
Model 2. Reasonably good condition - paint loss in a few places and the felt from underneath the typebars is worn out so quite a few of them hit the metal on return. I'd like to replace it at some point - the visual side will also benefit from this I think as I would imagine the arc of the raised typebars will become nice and smooth.
I bought it with a broken carriage line - this is really the machine with the easiest access to the spring drum I've encountered so far so the fix and adjustment was quick and easy.
