This machine was damaged in shipping, breaking the frame on the "jaw" below the keys. It was welded so it works. It was only after we had that weld done that I noticed that the machine had other issues. A previous owner had painted many parts that shouldn't have been painted and the carriage moves with a pronouced wobble that made me suspect bearings.
After much internal debate I did finally part the machine out. The rest of it went to T.B. Writer's Plus, if you need more of it, go check with them.
