Description:
I purchased this machine from a family in Harrisburg, PA in September, 2025. I THOUGHT it was in good shape, but the entire thing was caked with old blue/purple ink all in the slugs, typebars, and segment; and I'll be damned that it didn't take 8-9 rounds of cleaning to get most all of it out.
