PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INFO

82-years old and looking good! Ultra-portable and great for small space or taking to your favorite cafe for an afternoon of writing. Original glass keys. The exterior looks really good – a few minor scratches in the finish, but not noticeable unless you’re looking for them. Serviced, cleaned, tested, new ribbon.

performance review: Really love the feel of this typewriter! Such a great little machine. Good for smaller hands, nice keystroke. Everything works great. Only needs a light hand. Bell sounds good. Types really well. This model does not come with a tabulator. Backspace and margin release work as they should. Overall is fantastic with a wonderful flow. Great for medium to heavy use.

Serviced, cleaned, tested, new ribbon installed, demo & tutorial videos. Be sure to watch the demo video so you can see how it performs!
