Description:
As found at an antique mall in Richland, Washington. $45 plus tax. Machine was not displayed, but was in its case, which is probably a good thing. Did a light cleaning, as there were tons of eraser shavings in the machine. Types well, but have had to flush the segment multiple times. This is a very handsome machine. The two tone paint and sheet metal remind me of a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 that my parents had back in the day. Nice blue rubber platen. There are minor issues: The name plate adhesive is letting loose and needs to be re-glued. Elite typeface.
