This typewriter works fine. All the keys work. I think there is something wrong with the ribbon auto advancement because every so often I have to manually turn it so that I get new ink. Selling because I am over my typewriter phase and am going back to computers. My hope is that it would go to a poet who publishes a book using this machine, but I'm good with selling to it someone who just wants it for interior design uses.

Tested and working. Needs a deep clean. A few keys are slow to retract but once it’s cleaned and serviced it should work fine. Message me for any questions.
