Description:
Purchased in Ottawa in 2026 from a private owner who's father had owned it and used it frequently. A rare find with an Arabic keyboard, right-running carriage and reversed carriage handle. In good condition but with a hard platen and some mechanical problem with the tab stop, margin stop and ribbon color selector. Major typing controls all work great. Awaiting a new ribbon for a typeface specimen.
