Duane Jensen with Phoenix Typewriters sold such a machine in the past for $ 90.
You might give him a call and ask him what he thought of the "711".

I contacted Duane and he said that these are tough little electrics, with a meta flute shaft and strong return. And they use regular, easy-to-find ribbons. Their only problem, apparently, is the cog belts, which may break, and become brittle with time.
