Description:
This is the model used by the Australian poet Les Murray (1938-2019), see link below. The number 2 in "762TR" may refer to the 12 inch platen? Similar models such as the 760TR seem to have shorter carriages and platens.
TR may refer to the presence of a Tabulator as well as a Repeat spacer?
Purchased in New Zealand in 2026 from Roger, a friendly octogenarian gentleman. Hardly used over the decades and in great condition... except for bent elements in the ribbon vibrator area, causing the latter to get stuck in the up or down position while typing. Fix to come soon.
