Description:
This appeared to have been Elite typeface. Purchased off an online auction site. The seller ignored my packing instructions. The machine arrived damaged and minus its ribbon cover. The first picture is from the auction. The rest are upon arrival. The machine is not repairable. I received a full refund from the auction site, but the seller made no effort to retrieve his merchandise. Subsequently he offered to sell me the missing ribbon cover.
dismantled for parts 10/17
