Description:
This '60s Quiet-Riter Eleven was assembled in the UK but from USA and UK parts. The machine itself appears to be virtually identical to my '50s Office-Riter and Quiet Riter. I love these machines and think they're really nice typers, high quality machines. I enjoy the feel and the sound of them. I kind of like this '60s angular, blue body on these 60's models.
This one has a small 12-pitch elite typeface. The case is nice too.

I've spent my life as a mechanical and electronics tinkerer, bikes, cars, lawnmowers, appliances, cameras, audio gear, guitars, amplifiers, and pedal steel guitars. I was trained as a typist for 2 years back in the late 70's on IBM Selectric II's. At home I recall my mother having an Olympia SM3. More recently we got our daughter a typewriter for Christmas, and that somehow sparked my own personal interest in these fine and interesting machines. Now it's a habit that just won't quit. Daily searches on Craigslist, frequent trips to antique stores & malls, garage sales, etc. It's a fun and healthy addiction.
