Description:
This machine works well and features the floating shift; it can tear up the paper a bit, but that's fixable by adjusting the touch control. Like most of my machines, this was a garage sale find.

I started collecting typewriters in 1996 when my employer at an old newsstand in Kalamazoo, MI gave me her mother's Underwood Elliot Fisher Noiseless; I love these machines and learning how to repair and maintain them. The Noiseless was the medium for a zine I wrote through the nineties and into the oughts, and my nine-year-old daughter now types regularly.
