Description:
English-built rebrand of a Smith-Corona Skyriter.
Acquired on 2022-02-12
Sold again on 2022-3-02
Used some foam tape stuff to lift up the feed rollers a hair, which massively improved their ability to grip paper.
Glassy feet replaced with self-adhesive cabinet bumpers on 2022-02-13. They seem to work very well.

I have learned that I'm a fan mostly of mid-century european portables
