1947 Underwood Universal Serial # F1715077 1947 Underwood Universal typewriter, Serial # F1715077 Francisco Parada's 1947 Underwood Universal typewriter. 2017-01-31 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Francisco Parada: 1947 Underwood Universal Serial # F1715077 Bought with original case for 20 euro.
Paint is actually pretty ok for its age, but the original brand and model markings are extremely faded or non existent.

Just needed a new ribbon, a small spring for the carriage return lever scrounged from a laptop dvd drive and small dusting.

Writes great!

I managed to crack the sheet rest while placing a new spring on the carriage return lever pawl. Did not notice it is made of bakelite.
