Thoroughly cleaned and checked, original paint and patina untouched. British keyboard incl fractions, pound, dollar and cents. note that this early model does not switch the ribbon automatically, it has to be done manually. There is also a transport lever, that holds the return-lever in position. Probably more a collectors item these days, but this machine is also legendary for its reliability and may be used where laptops can't go. The ink ribbons are easily available, unlike some cassettes for electronic writers from the 80's.
