Overall very clean with minimal physical wear. Works well with a couple small issues: Carriage does not always engage on return but usually does about 95 percent of the time. Front cover that goes over keys, right side flange does not stay engaged into the slot but neither appear broken and really not an issue when typing as stays in place. Keys are a touch sticky but only a few and then they free up well with just a couple pushes. Could use a cleaning under the carriage and needs a new ribbon. Case is in Very nice condition with very light or minimal wear. Priced To Sell.
