Description:
Oh man. Sometimes you get a typewriter you can only describe as an utter bastard. That was this one. And I let it know that, repeatedly as I worked on it. The line-advance ratchet and the cylinder were absolutely fused for weeks of cajoling and penetrant. Purchased in nearby Wayne, PA in August, 2023.
