I'm a newbie on the typewriting front, so bear with me!  I bought this back in February, but now that my exams are over, I only just got around to testing it out. The description said that it was in great working condition - and for £25 I thought that I might as well go for it. Came with a fully functioning original case - minus keys and accessories, though.

Well. I got it, and a couple of minor issues I was able to fix with a little cleaning later - and it's still a little messed up. It does type, though..or rather, it did after the first clean. Briefly. As in, I got a page out of it.

I can see dust inside, behind the casing, but some of the screws are so tightly jammed in place that I'd have to use an electric drill to get them out for cleaning. Which I'd hate to do, to be honest.

I couldn't find anything on this particular model with the glass keys (assuming that the keys are the original ones), but I'm told by the seller that it's a 1929 one, put together in Croydon. But I honestly wouldn't know either way. So yes! Hit me with your typewriter knowledge! 

Appearance-wise, I can't really fault it, though; it definitely fits the image I had of the kind of typewriter that I wanted (thoguh a vintage Olivetti was choice no.1)



Sorry for not linking it directly. First post!
