Description:
The Skyriter was getting long in the tooth by 1958, though it would soldier on and morph into the Corsair by the mid-60's. This is one of the last North American made models, and despite having been dropped at some point in life, it has retained the paper supports. It has also mysteriously had green function keys installed in place of the normal white ones. Coincidence?
