The next typewriter to receive a new ribbon was my Underwood 315. Replacing the ribbon was slightly more involved than with the Seiko built machines though nowhere near as messy as with the Smith-Corona GT! The typewriter works well and with the new ribbon has a nice clear typeface.
Although it's been in the collection for over six months now we haven't yet had chance to play with the Underwood 315 yet. So, that has now been rectified to an extent. The typewriter works well and is pretty quiet, though shift lock seems to jam so should be avoided. The ribbon still has some life in it but i think it will be the next in line to receive a new one.
As well as the pair of Boots, i also got this Underwood 315 for Christmas. It's a nice typewriter though the case is a little awkward to get the typewriter in and out! The typewriter is pleasingly beige and white.
Merry christmas, nadolig llawen to you all. Santa has delivered three new typewriters to the collection (which seems apt). They are the Boots 42 and PT800 and an Underwood 315. We'll cover them in more detail over the coming days.
