Description:
I replaced the rubber that holds the cover on, and the bell and margin release weren't working correctly when I got it. Both simple repairs. I bought it for $46, but the shipping and handling, tax and fees were another $40. Oh well. I really like it. I can't get over how tiny it is and how well it types. Lots of letter overlap on single spacing, and some of the characters are very close to the letters. I am not used to the carriage return lever, and I slip off it sometimes. The feet and feed rollers are slippery, but it doesn't type loudly. Given to friends in 10/22 who wanted a script machine.
