Description:
It's another fun electric, and I really like the Numode typeface. I can't imagine that I'll use the Change-A-Type kit, but it's fun to have. It came in an Electra 120 Case. I don't know if that's the original case or not. The keys didn't hit the platen when I got it because part of the margin lock mechanism was bent. I fixed that quickly so I could try it out. It is dirty, the front nameplate is missing, the paper table is missing a spring, and the tab set/clear button doesn't work, and the alignment is a little out of adjustment. It should all be easy to fix. Kept the typebars and ditched the machine.
