Dirty as all get out, but seems to function nearly flawlessly. A full clean, oil, and adjust is mandatory as will be new ribbon, but in surprisingly solid condition for all the accumulated filth. Not all bad for a thrift purchase of $11.00.

  1. I’ve been wanting a Remington with the KMC feature for a while. It’s pretty simple and spectacular in it’s design and function.

    Despite the huge amount of dirt on this thing, this machine may also have one of the best functioning carriage returns I’ve ever felt. It’s so incredibly smooth!
