1965 Commodore Speedwriter Serial # 5 232339747 1965 Commodore Speedwriter typewriter, Serial # 5 232339747 David Vandergucht's 1965 Commodore Speedwriter typewriter. 2024-11-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of David Vandergucht: 1965 Commodore Speedwriter Serial # 5 232339747 A nice little ultraportable. Unfortunately, this one had a mold incident. It came with a case, but it's so moldy I didn't want to bring it into the house to take a picture of it. It was bad enough that you might have been able to smell it through the internet.

I've cleaned the typewriter well, but haven't gotten rid of the smell entirely. It also feeds pages a bit crookedly, which I'll need to look into a bit more.
