Good condition for age, it does have some issues. It will need restoration if you wish to have a fully working typewriter. The keys have been minimally cleaned and oiled and will strike the platen when pushed. The string/belt that moves the carriage is dry rotted and broken so it will need replacing. The inner workings of the typewriter are also covered in dust from age but I am leaving that up to someone who knows what they are doing to clean and restore. It does have a ribbon with spools but they are dry. The body of the typewriter has a some paint peel and chips with very minimal rust. It is in overall good shape. Please see the photos to examine the condition of the machine.
