Typewriter

When I took the typewriter out of its trash bag, this is exactly what it looked like. You can see a small piece broke off and it is located near the ribbon on the bottom right of the picture.

You can see from this picture that the metal pieces on the left of the carriage are bent and out of place. Compare to the pieces on the right which are straight and allow for easy movement of the pieces.

Close up of the left side of the carriage. You can see the magic margin tab is missing and the switch will not move.

This margin marker will not move

This margin marker will not stay put

The ribbon spools were badly bent.

On the underside of the machine you can see that there is a piece on the left side that is not attached the way it should be.Right side shown for reference.

Shows how the amount of packaging materials was inadequate in supporting the machine.
