Description:
Made in Yugoslavia. Elite typeface.
First typewriter I owned, a low-priced hand-me-down originally bought years ago from an acquaintance to serve only as a decor item (because no one actually uses typewriters anymore, right?). As a living room ornament, it collected dust for about a decade... until I belatedly watched California Typewriter and decided that it was time to bring it back to life and to find it some (imperially good) companions.
No major issues apart from sticky keys needing a clean.

On a shoestring budget in a typewriter desert. I'm a writer and I swear that I really do need these tools of the trade, all seven of them and counting... (Obviously still a beginner.) Two hot takes: Script fonts, yuck. And the 1970s is an underrated decade for typewriters.
