This was the first script machine that I found "in the wild" rather than online. It was in a thrift store and not priced. They seemed worried I would balk at $25! I bought it. That said after fixing some disconnected links and cleaning it, I didn't love it as much as another collector I knew, so I sold it to them.
Notes
RaRo 75 script typeface, too tall for bichrome so no red/black selector
