Functional 3 Bank portable. Needs new rubber feet and platen. Does not have spools for ribbon but tested with standard ribbon and works fine. No spool nuts. Only has the base of the case, not the cover. Working remarkably well for age and original construction.

I have a passion for analog methods of putting words on paper. I own a letterpress shop that helps to fill this desire, but found typewriters also have a role in producing written materials with a value-added dimension. I'm drawn to working typewriters and renovate them as I am able. I'm pretty handy with things mechanical. Overall, I feel more like an enthusiast with a collection that will get used by design. I understand the temptation to buy them all, but I don't have a store to sell them in. I'm also no expert in repair, so it's a matter of finding the best typefaces and typing feel that helps me to get words on paper. Type on!
