Description:
An odd one, as I can't find anything with this model name on a JP-7. It is essentially an Accord 12; however, they added the nice ribbon vibrator from the cartridge machines.
This one is essentially new. All the OE grease was in place and slowing down the escapement. I cleaned that out and left the other point's factory grease while carefully removing a few bits of correction tape. Then, a simple wipe down of the platen and rollers. These were well made and used excellent materials, as seen in the rubber. It has a super platen and types like it did in 1982.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
