Description:
Acquired from a local collector. This version is the narrower carriage that has the cloth ribbon cartridge system with bichrome feature. I've reloaded an old cartridge with fresh Baco red/black ribbon. This machine has been modified by local IBM technician Steve Marshall with the EXP express backspace feature, modified return key and 1.5 line spacing.
