Description:
This is another smashed one with great type feel. Paper injector at right. This has many flaws, but the type feel is so good it brings me back. No carriage return handle, broken ratchet, Upper/Lower out of sync, ribbon advance only works one side. Doesn't matter when the type feel is as good as this. (JP-3 body, Elite font)

Born and raised less than a quarter mile from The Noiseless factory in Middletown, CT. (It was Remington Rand by the time I came around). I was getting interested in mechanical typewriters when my wife brought home a blue 1965 Smith-Corona Sterling in perfect condition. Now I own 21 mechanical and 3 electric typewriters!
