Description:
I got this robin's-egg blue QDL sometime during the pandemic in the Birdsboro/Douglassville, PA area--not far from where I'd gotten another one with a similar color. It was one of those classic "it worked well until someone got their hands on it" situations. I figured I could fix whatever was wrong with it. Looks like it got dropped, and the carriage rail got bent. So now it is a parts machine, though I'm hoping to transplant the body and keys onto a different machine.
