Description:
I rilly like the color scheme, everything moves well.
I love how it types but I was having some issues with the shift mechanism earlier, its working for the time being.
EDIT: there are to bars in the machine on eather side of it that link up to the shift mechanism, the right side of mine is missing a nut and so occasionally it slips off and falls underneath the shift mechanism keeping it up... I didn't have a replacement nut soooooooooo... electrical tape.

Hi, I started collecting typewriters in my early teens . One day I stumbled across an antique store on my way home, I saw a typewriter outside the shop and I urged my Mother to pull over so I could check it out. I don't know where this intrigue can from but after that machine I became fascinated with them. I figured I should mention that, most people seem to get into this hobby for nostalgia, I just like mechanical things.
I started a Youtube channel called The Jersey Type
