Description:
This typewriter seems to be a knock-off of the Brother TR660 Correction. Same build quality, pretty sure it's made by brother and rebranded or something similar.
Everything on the machine works as new. I do not have a correction ribbon though sadly.
No missing paintwork work any real scratches. Mostly just some spilling of correction fluid from the previous owner.
Platen is soft and and keys are smooooooth and snappy! It's in really good condition.
The line spacing options are 1, 1.5, and 2.
It has a Correction key the [X] white key. The way this used to work is that there was actually a bichrome ribbon; the red and lack ribbons are also bichrome, just that the ribbons in these machines were white and black so that is why the color selector is white and black and not red. These white sections were some sort of material like Tippex, white out, or any other form of correcting substance you would use to cover up a mistake. This only worked on white paper though.
There is a unique type-slug on this machine that for both Uppercase and lowercase; it looks like just a square with some texture. What this did is that when you pressed the key, it would move the ribbon to the white portion of the ribbon and the slug would strike it and leave the white substance on the page (this key was also a dead key so it would not move the carriage).
Sad thing: these white parts of the ribbon would flake with drying and often gum up the machine. These flakes are also annoying to clean because they got into the hard-to-reach parts of the machine and are just sticky enough to not want to be blown out by pressured air, but also when trying to clean them they like to smear and be difficult.
Smart innovation. This feature was also on some electrics especially from brother before the Electronic typewriters came with carbon ribbons and lift off tape.
This typewriter also features a repeat space bar. When held down the carriage will move until either: the user releases the key; the carriage hits the margin.
It can then continue moving if the margin release key is pressed.

I am a musician from Norway
I collcet typewriters and try my best to restore them and I use them daily for everyday things like work. I love using my typewriters, as it gives off a more tactile feel and more personal feel, and when I do work related things like schoolwork it makes me write more accurately because It's harder to correct.
I recently even got gifted my first electronic from my partner! She gave me the AX-100. It is really nice for school work because it can do corrections more professionally and it appears better on scans. So for letters I use manuals and for school I use the electric.
I currectly have 5 typewriters
