If you are going to use it, is it working properly? If it says in working condition and you can check it out in person:-
1. Best that you familiarise yourself with the functions of typewriters before checking one out. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkUXn5bOwzk)
2. Bring a sheet of paper.
3. Make sure the platen grips and feeds the paper as it should.
4. Test every single key. Sticky keys are normal if it hasn’t been used for some time and are easy to fix.
5. Set the margins to opposite ends and make sure the carriage operates smoothly to both opposite ends.
6. Type a line with a single letter WITHOUT pressing the space bar. If you see space/s in you your line, the rack or gear mechanism is not working correctly!
7. Is the ribbon reversing automatically?
8. Type a word in upper and lower case. Check the alignment. It is normal if they are slightly out of alignment if the machine has not been serviced or checked.
If buying online, look for the words "100% working" or something similar.
