we knew that there must be many of them hiding under cobwebs in people's garages and under their beds, but sadly, we also knew that we didn't have one of our own...
i had been ebay watching for the last 2 weeks...
and finally won this great vintage bargain! $3.25!
I brought it home today... it does show it's age encased in the slightly faded black box...
It's base is securely locked to the bottom of the case for easy travelling... not so easy though should one carry it around town... it weighs several kgs...
not much info on the internet... but i guess it is pre-war or made b4 the 1950s...
and amazingly... all the keys work! and no sticky keys... but it requires slow typing, otherwise it gets abit jumpy...
it will be making alot of typing noices shortly, in the next few months...
