Description:
Local find at an antique shop. It has some black paint(?) drips on it. Not sure what to do about that. I am enjoying the Ebay listings for this model, some asking over $400 for it. It's nice... it's not THAT nice.
She's sound, types very well. A little more cleaning and this gal is ready for some serious wordage!
4/18/15 - just changed the ribbon to a black/red. The vibrator seems to get hung up when typing red. I'll investigate further.
