Another typewriter ready for use and enjoyment by a new owner. This one received new paint on the lower shell, which was scratched by transits in and out of the carrying case. Other than that it needed the usual -- deep cleaning, a new drive belt, and adjustments to tab mechanism, upper & lower case alignment, and the master trip. With its fresh bichrome ribbon installed, this is a terrific typer. I'd guess it's a later example of the Electra -- closer to 1970 than 1965 -- because the line-spacing choices are 1, 1.5 and 2.
