Description:
I can't believe how elegant this looks, but regrettably it doesn't work because of an escapement problem - the carriage doesn't catch on anything, and just zings straight to the end of the line.
I don't have a hope in hell of fixing it by myself but I REALLY want this one to function so I might have to hunt down a real repairman.
Sold May 2019.
