EXCELLENT CONDITION – LIKE NEW. - Barely Used, if at all. Very Clean and Solid Working Condition / Case-kept / Ready to Use. Typewriter body is exceptionally clean. The keytops and labels remain sharp and bright. All keys strike crisply, the carriage advances smoothly, and the return lever operates properly. Case is clean and solid. Handle and Zipper work well. The ribbon is fair and still types ok, but a new ribbon will be needed soon.
