Purchased at a Goodwill for $10! Documentation says purchased 1/2/79 so I'm assuming manufactured in 1978, which more or less agrees with TWDB. Needed a belt replaced but worked great apart from that.
Condition
tab is a little slow
Provenance
Goodwill Store, $10!
Notes
Belt from https://westcoastbelts.com/product/new-replacement-belt-for-silver-reed-electric-8700-typewriter/ but discussed with them to find a wider belt than was originally delivered
