Description:
Thrift store find. Good condition. Just needs some exercise.
Everything works, just a few dust bunnys and stray pet hairs.
RaRo7 on type slugs. Platen rubber width 9 3/16 inches, average hardness, good rollers.
Standard US keyboard, good action. Plastic shell. No paperwork. Metal spools probably not original.
Upon further inspection, this is a low hour machine, even the case is above average.

Retired to the quiet of rural Nebraska to contemplate nature.
Typing down thoughts, prefer that to handwriting.
Not really a collector, just like to tinker on mechanical things.
