Description:
I wanna say rescued from a man who said I was his last hope in taking in this machine. If I didn't take it, he would throw it away as nobody would buy it even for a super low cost. Not many want these, and it is a bit hard to understand why. They're solid performers and has a robust build. Machine came in a custom made box that has protected it nicely for a long time, so the machine is in very good condition.

I am a Norwegian fellow who enjoys tinkering and fixing up typewriters. One day I decided I wanted a typewriter to write letters on. I bought one that turned out not to work. I got annoyed and decided I should be able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I did it, but the rush of successfully mending such an intricate machine was like a drug. I wanted more. I decided I would try to buy non-functioning, but pretty machines, fix them and sell them before repeating the process. What I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machines I fix so now I suddenly find myself a bit of a collector.
