Description:
I'm convinced that it was a typewriter collector who came up with the idea to torture people by pulling out their fingernails. This Imperial has the worst case of fingernail gouging that I've ever seen, a few of its keys have craters so deep that a geologist would describe them as volcanoes. I'll have to fill them with epoxy before getting to the cosmetic repair.
