Description:

I found this typewriter on a local ad site. I noticed the case first. I had no idea this was an ultraportable until I saw it in the flesh.

The seller said he had bought it from a retired nurse. Which seems about right, since I found a commercial for disposable gloves in the document compartment.
It's a pretty basic typewriter. No color selector. Very pretty, but the margin release key is missing. I hope it is lodged somewhere inside.

I fell into the typewriter rabbit hole due to nostalgia: I used to have a massive Olympia SG1 when I was a kid. It formed my typing habits, which is why I am called a "furious typer" by my coworkers. Came across the r/typewriters page on Reddit which rekindled my love for these wonderful machines. Lets just hope I don't start pushing screens off my desk when I reach the end of a line...

I also have a modest Youtube channel where I document the progress of my typewriter journey: https://www.youtube.com/@Slug_Life
