Description:
This machine types very well, displaying a very good alignment, and given the snappiness of the electric action, gives exceptionally crisp and regular print quality.
It is unfortunately quite noisy, and rusty inside, but does work well, after the stuck parts were freed up.

Software engineer by day, and typewriter newbie by night.
I got my first typewriter when I was a child, one of the kid's plastic ones, but was not satisfied.
I moved on the first real one, a portable Silver-Reed Silverette S, which I still own today, and use once in a while.
