Description:
A fairly nondescript typewriter from the early seventies. Obviously not a quality build, almost tin like. That being said, it types quite well, and this one is in extremely good shape. Probably bought for a student who used it occasionally. Comes in a plastic case. Type is strong, but it is noisy and feels a little cheap. With all these limitations, it's still a nice machine that does exactly what it did when it was manufactured.

I rediscovered typewriters about a year ago when I got back my Hermes 3000 from my daughter. I bought it to gift her on the occcasion of her first born. Then it sat for about a decade, I brought it home and have been on it ever since. I've taken up buying them, fixing and cleaning, then gifting them to friends who show an interest. I have to give them away otherwise I'd be a hoarder!
