Description:
Found in Gardner, Kansas. When found the body had not been correctly attached to the base, so the carriage rubbed. After forming some of the aluminum I got the case and carriage sorted out. It was then thoroughly cleaned and other assorted issues were address, including a cracked platen and a missing right platen knob. These were replaced with a better condition platen and a knob (cracked, but functional). It was then released back into the wild.
