Description:
The hybrid. Unfortunately, it uses the JP11/13 ribbon system. These ribbons came as film and nylon. Did the nylon reverse? Nu-kote data shows it as a 1/2 in ribbon. Why can't some bulk 1/2 in nylon be spun into it? This one has a bad case of the UVs.
An MSRP of $600. A $600 investment in 1982 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $2,008.59 today, an increase of $1,408.59 over 43 years. Sears thought a lot of their branding and put an $800 plus MSRP on it!!!

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 anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
