Description:
It's difficult to build a better machine than this Elite3. Excellent design, nice feel, responsive keyboard, a masterpiece. The platen is in bad condition and there is a missing spring in the carriage return lever. Made in DDR, Portuguese HCESAR keyboard layout. This type was a slaver working. Tons of paper passes through its platen... Elite typeface
Update: Gifted to my wife school to be used by kids...
