Description:
Eddy Grant. Purchased from Goodwill online, Austin, TX. Very clean. Powers on. I need to learn how to use the typeball/ribbon cartridge. During the type test the ribbon seemed light, when I held down the dash key to see how it repeats, something happened and now the J letter appears when I press the dash key and other keys don't match up when pressed. So.....? Not sure how to find other typeballs/cartridges...probably need a lesson in placement.

Started collecting in March 2021 when an Olympia SM3 caught my eye at a thrift store. By May 2021, I was up to nine. By September 2021, my husband jumped in to the pool with both feet and our collection grew to 37. Phew. By October 2022 we had 64. In 2023 we began attending and hosting events where we can share our collection with the community and other collectors. We've sold or given away about 21. Good times.
