It's a great price if you live in LA or can get them to ship it.

Caps compatible with ALPs or MX? Might be able to pick it up after work since it's in Rancho Cucamonga  ;D

I have a friend in Rancho.  If Waygu doesn't grab it, I might.

What I would love is one of those arabic keyboards like in Cronenberg's Naked Lunch.
I don't even know what brand that was or what to look for. That typewriter was gorgeous though, and its print looked great.

This thing is in great shape and the caps are yummy - makes me want to go out and get a CCnG (http://keypuller.com/cream-cheese-and-green-us/) set of modifiers to go with 'em! This was definitely a great find, thanks for passing along the info nubbinator!

I'll take photos & post them up in another thread when I've got a chance to spend a little time with it... for now, enjoy the cool dinosaur the seller had out front:
