Ultra-Low-Profile, Swiss-Made Precision

Measuring just 2-1/2 inches high, this very low profile, no frills, lightweight machine was the ultimate minimalist laptop typewriter of its time.

It has no shift lock, just single spacing, no tabs, a single-color ribbon and no paper guide for inserting paper. It does, however have reversible ribbon levers on either side of the frame.

The decals are in relatively good condition. The frame color is gray-green and the metal case is in good condition.

The typewriter is fully functional with clear and precise type characters.
