Description:
Found at a flea-market for about 6 USD, with original case, spools, and feet - everything fully functional and even somewhat clean - though it is a typewriter, so everything is relative... I bought it.
Only thing I did with it apart from cleaning, was to replace one screw on the back which was held on with some tape. Nothing structural, just the back plate. Nothing much to say for this model otherwise, pretty straightforward, although it was a bit of a pain to get the alignment correct to screw the feet back in.

Casual collector of replica flintlock pistols, and in that same vein, picked up a couple of typewriters through the years - as a mechanical engineer, I could not resist.
