It mostly works fine. The margin bell is missing the trapezoid lifter thingamabob. The box has been damaged and attempted to be repaired. The line space setter is a bit dysfunctional, as a nut has to be loosened for the spacer to space the right amount. Gave it away to a friend of mine after I got an Olympia SM9

The cover for the box. It seems to have been damaged at one point in time. If anyone knows if I could buy a latch for this, I could get the box working.

Some missing pieces of the margin bell mechanism I found in a rolled up piece of tape under the typewriter. I am still currently missing a tiny bit to stop the trapezoid from moving too far, so if anyone knows where I can find that, I would finally be able to get the bell working!

My first typewriter was an Underwood Portable 3 Bank and I have been fascinated with the mechanical construction ever since.
