Description:
Made in Holland this bright blue electric is a rather cheap machine. It works OK, just no sense of feel when using it. Found at an antique store in mid-Michigan. I would rather sell it than use it. T061

I have always enjoyed tinkering with mechanical "things". For a number of years my wife wanted an IBM Selectric, The machine she used many years ago as a secretary. In 2020 we found one at an auction and bought it for $15. It took another $150 for the typewriter repairman to get it working. That turned out to be T001 in our collection. In the beginning we bought whatever we found. Now I am concentrating on the portables rather than the older office machines. The collection is getting large and it is time to start posting on TWDB.
