Very well packed product. Arrived well in time. Can type out of the box in two colors. This was the first time I laid hands on a typewriter and within couple of days of video training watching on YT can write letters and more advanced formatted scripts using this typewriter. There is no 1 in the numbers and lowercase letter “l” is supposed to do it given portability of the typewriter. Very satisfied with the purchase and the shop although got busy and haven’t really used as much. Will update how it goes but so far very happy with the look and feel and the functionality of the machine. Thanks.
