Description:
Superb machine. Solid and smooth and with a travel case to die for. These FACITS are serious contenders to the latter day SM range from Olympia. I was sad to see this one go but fortuitously managed to track down a TP1 to replace it.

My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching the Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021. My addiction/collection began then and now consists of 39 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" ( a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
