Description:
I got this machine from a Goodwill for very little. The paint is in decent shape, except for the paint on the upper left side of the machine, where it is completely chipped.... I don't know how that was accomplished. It has the Change-O-Type characters on the far left and right, and has the Page Gauge and the mid-60s white keys. It works fine, though it does get hot to the touch after a few minutes' usage. It needs some cleaning, and I wouldn't be surprised if the belts from the electric motor fail within the next few years.
And no, that is not an 11/24ths fraction. Just 1/2 and 1/4 beside each other without a space between them... my mistake.
