Amazingly this typewriter functions are as far as I can tell 100% functional. According to most sources, if this typewriter was refurbished and cleaned up it would be priced at $1500 and up. This typewriter is extremely rare and historic and served as a real workhorse during World War II.!! The ribbon which is currently in the machine is very dried out. A new ribbon would be recommended and it is a standard size easily replaced. The shipping will be expensive since this machine weighs about 30 pounds but if the machine is picked up, I will refund the shipping cost. See less
