Description:
My first typewriter. Purchased and picked up from a local electronics salvage business back in January of 2021. Only had to be cleaned and the ink cartridge replaced. Originally only came with a Prestige Pica daisy wheel but I eventually picked up an Elite and Mini Gothic wheel as well. Fully functional including the IEEE 1284 (Centronics port). Tested successfully with Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 11, OpenBSD 7.7 and Solaris 10 1/13.

I work in IT and enjoy slamming the keys that go clickity-clack from time to time.
I enjoy repairing, maintaining, and cleaning typewriters.
