Description:
Not the most fun to type on but for portability, it is very good. Bodoni font is nice in Elite, but needs very thin paper otherwise smudges. Has OG manual and brown case in very good condition.

Born and raised less than a quarter mile from The Noiseless factory in Middletown, CT. I've fought with the why. Why do I like typewriters when I always was interested in 'tech'. I guess for their day, they were high tech. I've acquiesced that for me the "Rube Goldberg" nature of complex mechanics is the main draw.
