1983 Clover 810 Serial # 310942 1983 Clover 810 typewriter, Serial # 310942 Amanda Wood's 1983 Clover 810 typewriter. 2023-08-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Amanda Wood: 1983 Clover 810 Serial # 310942 1983 Clover Model 810 with Hangul keyboard, original purchase certificate, Clover typing textbook, and Korea Typing Education Association textbook.
Typewriter with what seems to be original Clover ribbon spools that are still well inked, and a beautiful case. Type slugs are shiny and new looking!

It took me MUCH longer than I care to admit to get the hang of it, but I understand the basic mechanisms of the typewriter now. I saw the multiple versions of characters and went "oh no". Best way to figure it out is trial and error, no? So that's what I did. I think I could type out full sentences now, but slowly. Takes much more effort than using a Hangul keyboard on your smartphone or computer.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
