Description:
Bought it for $6 and probably from the original owner. Extensive paperwork (sadly, lacking the passport) and UNIS shipping box included. User's manual has a handwritten notification about bad ribbon advance, which worked only in one direction for years (now fixed by replacing damaged ratchet wheel paws).
A bit noisy (just like any other TBM De Luxe), but otherwise seems OK.
Sold Aug. 30, 2016.
