Description:

Essential a Webster 747 in a different livery. I don't find much on the 709, so this is a new add model. The first ads for it appear in 1970.
Preset tabs by 10 and the kick ass machine gun repeat spacer. Elite 11 ish pitch.
I think I will try the salon cream on the yellowed keys.
What do you think of the ting of the typebar spring?

The 20v uv reversal results wo doing the spacebar. And I found a case! In of all places on my own shelves!!!!

Period attache with the guts removed. I have this thing forever and have test fit it on a number of typers, but now it has found its mate.

Found it. This is what happens when you go on hunting rampages and forget what you put on the shelves.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
