Description:
This U.S. Mirsa Ideal arrived in rather poor condition, missing a few screws and the top cover. The interior was also covered in lots of surface rust. I was able to clear out most of the rust, enough to get it working. I also made a new cover for the top out of some plight pine plywood, stained with walnut oil stain, and coated in polyurethane. It's still a little work in progress, as I am still clearing out some interior rust, but the outside of the machine is in good enough condition to be displayed. This machine is equipped with what I assume is a Czech keyboard.
