I don't know if it works, but the letters move. Priced based on what I've seen in vintage shops, as a decorative item. It's large and we don't have a shelf that holds it, so it's up for sale. It's been stashed in my parents basement for nearly forty years, so if you're writing a novel and want to surround yourself with the tools of yesteryear, this could be for you. Yes we still have it. Yes you can come see it. No I won't deliver it, sell it for $5, or change the tape and try to "get it running" for you. Check my seller's list for other random things.
