Description:
I got this beauty yesterday. - April 10 2017-
Mechanically in an excellent condition. The feed rollers have flat spots but they hold and feed the paper surprisingly well. The machine is cosmetically in a great condition too. It came complete with the original wooden cover.
The machine doesn't have the key top for the backspace key. Maybe somone can help with that?
The previous owners got the machine from an antique shop. They used it for decoration. They updated their interior some time ago and the machine did not fit in the design anymore. So it came for sale.
I think they had it covered up because there was very little dust on and in the machine.
I am really happy with this find and hope I can get a new key top for it.
