The aesthetic is in excellent condition, with the original bright white plastic housing completely clean and free from the heavy scuffs or intense yellowing that frequently affects light-colored portables from this decade. Mechanically, it operates like an absolute dream. The typebar basket is perfectly clear, the carriage return lever gives a smooth, satisfying click, and the keys strike with a wonderfully crisp, light touch. This beautiful time capsule comes complete with its original white hardshell transporting case for seamless portability.

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
