I have this one, a friend found it in the trash. The ribbon it's quite easy to re-ink so if you manage to get hold of some old cartridges they can last a long time.

The typewriter is pretty but is almost like a toy.

Yeah machines from the 80s rarely look very comfortable to type with, especially ultraportables… this one doesn't seem to be an exception.

However, it's cool to have typewriters just for decoration. Not my thing, but cool if it's someone's.
