Description:
Metal chasis, well made. Although sounds very metallic, its one of the easiest machines to type with. Even with old ribbon and dirty slugs, type is always crips and even.
Very reliable typewriter - great case too
Please see my blog article about this wonderful machine in my links

Typewriter collector, previous sewing machine collector.
Originally from the Garden of England, Kent. I have lived in Sheffield for over fifteen years.
As a young child, I always enjoyed taking things apart and seeing how they functioned.
I have been collecting a range of vintage typewriters for over two years.
Previously, I was interested in restoring sewing machines, then I acquired my mothers Olivetti Dora and looked under the hood and typed, I was hooked on typewriters and how they worked.
I learn something every day from passionate bloggers and typewriter enthusiasts.
Fan of Joe Van Cleave's typewriter video series.
