Description:
A beast of a desktop machine. At some point someone deigned to cover the Underwood name on the front panel up and I have not yet attempted to remove the defacement. An absolute pleasure to type on with a lovely actuation feeling when you hit a key. This uses a a fluted aluminum power roller rather than a rubber one which I consider to be a great feature for ongoing longevity and maintenance.

I love vintage technology in general; audio stuff, computers, film cameras, but typewriters are fun by virtue of how mechanical they are. I have lately been using mine to write letters to internet penpals as well as politicians.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Scriptor on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Scriptor By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
