🛠️ CONDITION REPORT:
• Mechanical: Fully working condition. Keys strike cleanly and return properly. The carriage advances smoothly, the space bar works perfectly, the tab mechanism operates exactly as it should, and the margins adjust easily.
• Cosmetic: In beautiful vintage condition. The bright orange body is clean, glossed, and sharp with minimal signs of age-related wear (please review the photos for exact cosmetic condition).
• Patina Note: Please note that on the very underside/bottom panel of the machine, there is a distinct line of vintage surface rust/patina (as shown in the photos). This is completely hidden when the typewriter is sitting normally on a desk or tucked into its case, but when turned over, it gives the machine a wonderfully honest, authentic weathered vintage character that collectors appreciate.
• Ribbon Spools: Please note, this machine does not come with an ink ribbon, but the original empty ribbon spools/holders ARE fully included and attached inside. This makes it incredibly easy for you to buy a standard "Universal Typewriter Ribbon" online (usually around £4–£6) and easily wind it onto the original spools.
