Prestige Elite

Picked up an IBM Wheelwriter typewriter at Value Village last week. It has some problems that should be fixable, but print quality isn't one of them.

The plastic Prestige Elite daisywheel has seen some hard use, but with a carbon film ribbon it's almost as crisp as letterpress. I'm also geeking out at the early design-for-manufacturing details (all the parts clip together, and there's no heavy steel main frame) plus all the quiet little ergonomic details built from nearly a century of experience
