Description:
Bought it from a granddaughter of the original owner. The machine was stored out of its case for years and looked inside like a dust bag. At some point, it was also banging like a streetcar on bad tracks. It appeared that many screws were loose, rubber silencers under the lid went missing and two large paper clips were stuck inside.
The machine has been serviced and sold since then.
Typeface: Pica "22".
