Sharing a picture of my new ride! Behold the mighty SG3!

That's interesting. Someone has swopped the ribbon cover for a later (1970's) one. !

This one confuses me a bit.

The key-tops look like an early SG3, but the top cowling (ribbon cover) is of a later SG3.

BUT...isn't that the style of handle on the paper injector that you see on the later SG3s ? Maybe the lever/handle for the original paper injector was broken and replaced at some time ???

Franken-machine or not, it's a great typewriter. Enjoy it.
