Description:
This is a workhorse machine
You can type fast on this, but it is very loud because the inside is so large and cavernous.
You can remove the platen, carriage and type basket in seconds.
Very heavy, sold and stable.
Forces you to sit up properly to type.
Its an ok typer, but the basket shift doesn't always lock so you get characters half up or down the page.
Not the greatest to type on, keys are quite far apart so typing quick is possible but not enjoyable.

Typewriter collector, previous sewing machine collector.
Originally from the Garden of England, Kent. I have lived in Sheffield for over fifteen years.
As a young child, I always enjoyed taking things apart and seeing how they functioned.
I have been collecting a range of vintage typewriters for over two years.
Previously, I was interested in restoring sewing machines, then I acquired my mothers Olivetti Dora and looked under the hood and typed, I was hooked on typewriters and how they worked.
I learn something every day from passionate bloggers and typewriter enthusiasts.
Fan of Joe Van Cleave's typewriter video series.
