Description:
It might be 1969, but I'll guess 1970 or 1971 until more information is available.
I bought this for its super-power. It's a portable that feeds 11x17 paper. That sounds like fun!
Overall condition was good,but two linkages were unhooked and needed reconnecting and the ribbon, on plastic universal spools, was almost dead. I bought a set of metal spools from a Galaxie and installed them, and the ribbon that came with the spools was in good condition, so I was all set.
It's a nice typewriter, but HEAVY. I call it a semi-portable, because you don't want to move it more than you have to.

Someone gave me a vintage typewriter and I went maybe just a little bit crazy.
A dozen typewriters later, I think I found the machines I need.
