Description:
A great typewriter in nearly perfect condition. I bought this from someone who didn't know its history, and it was initially full of debris which I now think were shredded pieces of the ink ribbon. Many of the keys stuck after striking the platen, but that was resolved with a simple cleaning. The only remaining issue is the left side platen knob doesn't roll the platen due to what I assume is a broken internal linkage, but the right side works fine so this beautiful machine is 100% functional but 99% working. It came with the original parts, user manual and carrying case with key and packaging.
I sold it to someone else on 10/27/24
