I do not know but I have some speed typing typing thanks to a little girl fingered the typewriter one of my guys:) I think it was a Smith-Corona almost metallic gray. A purchase of second hand now do not know where you ended up ... a shame: P Not long after, another guy gave me my dear Olivetti Lettera 32 :) faithful companion and working like few others. Even in 2002 still used it and was mocked director of the magazine where I worked last ¬ ¬ had to deliver an item and without pc own and no time to go to a cybercafe, I pulled out my portable machine. The director of the mentioned magazine, I asked why he was still living in the caves : /
Eye, also had a power, but over time, I had many problems with the roll after he was hooked a tag labeled. I took a technician, I was returned in good condition, but soon began to fail and it was not so simple or cheap to find the reels of tape he used. Years it is a "decorative motif" more than my home desktop in Mexico : P
