They were asking $20, but I talked them down to $8.
It types surprisingly smooth. It needed a little oiling, but types great after I sprayed it with some white lithium grease.
I found some papers under the typewriter in the case written by a 9-year-old girl, Dawn McConnell in 1983.
June 23, 1983
There were several starts of letters to Uncle(s) Denny and Dan and Heather.
This one looks like she was typing from a dictionary.
Concerns of Denny getting a job quickly turn to Trapper John M.D. and Pacman.
I'm not sure if she's chastising herself or Heather for the poor typing.
A tragic tale of a starved lion.
Trouble spelling "Picture" or possibly "Pitcher". Hard to say.
I put the typewriter up for sale on eBay.
