This typewriter comes from a large estate that I am in the process of consigning. The owner of the estate was an absolutely fantastic woman who lived over 90 years. She had lots of old vintage items. They were all very well kept. This typewriter is an example of the items I have from her. I was amazed that when I plugged it in, it fired up right away and worked perfectly. It will need a new ribbon. Because it’s dried up it’s been sitting around for many years, I’m assuming. other than source it seems to be functioning perfectly as you can see in my video. I do have the original case. It is a replacement cord that I’m using as I could not find the original cord. I have many of these cords that fits perfectly and it works perfectly as you can see.
