Description:
Very nice action. Found in an antique shop in Northern Michigan. Bought it because of an attractive price. This makes my 5th electric machine in the collection - 3 too many. I just don't use the electrics when I want to type something. But, when I do use them I find it a pleasant experience except that I must find a power outlet. (T088)

I have always enjoyed tinkering with mechanical "things". For a number of years my wife wanted an IBM Selectric, The machine she used many years ago as a secretary. In 2020 we found one at an auction and bought it for $15. It took another $150 for the typewriter repairman to get it working. That turned out to be T001 in our collection. In the beginning we bought whatever we found. Now I am concentrating on the portables rather than the older office machines. The collection is getting large and it is time to start posting on TWDB.
