Description:
Bought from a local auction. Entered a low bid not expecting to get it. The ribbon drive mechanism needed repair which required removing all the casing. This machine had just just started to develop some surface rust and flakey paint in some areas which have all now been treated. I think if it were left much longer in the same conditions it would have required a full restoration but I'm happy with how turned out after some basic maintenance and cleaning.
