*MECHANICS: As with all our serviced typewriters - this one is in outstanding mechanical condition. It types as smooth as butter and looks amazing! The typewriter has been disassembled, cleaned, polished and adjusted on feet. Bell works like a charm, carriage advances smoothly. It is ready to withstand many hours of heavy typing with it's smooth carriage, light keys and sturdy design.
*CASE: No case. Case can be purchased separately - upon request.
*ADDITIONAL INFO: This typewriter is very easy to type on, it's suitable for light users who do not like to heavily hit the keys. The keys are very responsive, light to type on, perfect distance between the rows of the keyboard which is ergonomic. This model has something unique - it features a "cushion" effect of it's keyboard - when the key is depressed - it has a slight spring movement which absorbs the pressure. Moreover, for easy writing the keys stay perpendicular to the working surface with every press which is also a very unique feature for this model.
