Description:
Literal barn find. The Marketplace add has it sitting on a bale of hay in a dimly lit area!
This model is like a machine gun. I could never hope to type that fast
Another Lettera 36C in the database has solid information that his was likely made in the 80s. My serial number is considerably larger than his so I have determined to set the date at 198X.

A lifelong tinker. Tearing up toys since the 70âs to see how they work!
A not so talented two finger typer, suddenly thrown into the world of touch typing and typewriter repair by my 1954 Smith-Corona Silent-Super affectionately called Cricket.
