I got this machine from ebay and it noted that the carriage moved all the way to the right. I assumed it was escapement issues and it was, but I never expected that the escapement starwheel shaft had sheared off! I have a makeshift one to replace it now and I hope to commission a better one eventually, but for now it works and types very well.
Condition
could use better escapement shaft, keys a little sticky
Notes
escapement wheel was broken off, new bolt (and case hardware) ordered from collector in finland
