Description:
Seems to be clean and in working order, if a bit sluggish. A cleaning and oiling and I’m sure it’ll type wonderfully. I’m very pleased with how much smaller it is than my other machines. (My husband is thankful too)
There's some kind of adhesive residue on the top plate and some colorful scrapes on the outside of the case, but nearly all of them came off with some scrubbing. There are pencil and eraser shavings inside, but nothing excessive.
Pica typeface 10 cpi

There's little more satisfying than finding a typewriter in bad shape and bringing her back to life.
