Description:
This typewriter was a big one. It had the 18 inch carriage with the decimal tabulator. The carriage would lumber back and forth, and the ball bearing rails always seemed like it had some rust or debris in there. Never felt that smooth. The type action on the other hand was very quick and bright, very snappy. I would reach the end of the line before I knew it. Took up too much space though, had to part with it. A good machine overall.

College age collector from New Jersey. Struggling to keep my collection under 30 machines. Started with this hobby back in 2014 when I was a freshman in high school, and it has led me all across the spectrum of machine repair from telephones to tape machines. I always end up coming back to typewriters though, can't keep me from returning to my roots.
