Description:
I got this during the Eclipse earlier in 2024, and it works pretty well, although its is loud.
The backspace button is giving me issues but besides that, its great!
On the bottom it said patents pending and so I looked up the patents on Google patents and found that this machine was made between 1976 and 1979 cuz in 79 the patent was approved and thus no longer pending.
Not sure what els to say about it.
Ok, I've done a little more research on this machine and I think it's actually from 1981 so I wasn't that far off but still, it was a good few years. It's kinda strange seeing a machine with the older body style made this recently.

I have been collecting and restoring typewriter's for about 2 and a half years now, I collect and restore other antiques aswell but I mainly focus on typewriters.
