***
These machines have a very fast, loose action. I find them the quickest of vintage machines. And they are the earliest machine with a segment (or basket) shift, which adds to the speed.
One of history’s most practical writing machines, in one of history’s most beautiful packages.
Unlike it’s crinkle black cousins, a few of these beauties came in this rare gloss maroon.
They are one of the fastest typers you will find, with that distinctive ‘glass keyed’ look of the era.
They have all of the bells and whistles you’ll need, including:
Basket shift (Floating Shift)
Tab with extra keys
Single and Double Line Spacing
2 Tone Ribbon Selector
Vintage metal ribbon spools.
I resurface the platen / rollers as needed, for a good paper grip. Sometimes I replace the feet but usually the original ones are ok on these.
Upper and lowercase will be aligned, and every machine passes a rigorous 14 point inspection and is tested by a writer.
Includes:
Original Case in Use-able condition (sometimes the cases are a little rough, but they work).
