I got it for $5 at a flea market a/b 20 years ago. It's fully functional, but the space bar linkage broke last year and it needs a ribbon. _________________________

And the ribbon still imprints — just not as clearly as a new one. Read: It's fully functional with one workaround. [:p Oh, and it only has serial ports — no USB. _________________________
