Description:
This was on my girlfriend's wish list for the longest time. Every one we found was either too expensive, REALLY rough, or wouldn't have survived shipping. Fortunately, right before Christmas 2023, this machine popped up on eBay, from a local estate cleanout, and the seller offered local pickup within a somewhat reasonable drive distance.
We went and picked it up, I had her close her eyes when we pulled in the seller's driveway. She had no idea I'd found one, and was ecstatic. I serviced it myself, and it cleaned up really well, also got a top quality ribbon for it.
Also, I have no idea who "MJP" was, but they have good taste.
