This is a restored Wizard Automatic manual typewriter in excellent condition. This machine has been cleaned, adjusted, repaired, and restored to working condition, and is ready to use as soon as you get it home.

The Wizard Automatic was made by Brother and sold in a variety of department stores through the 1960s and 70s. Like other Brother machines, the Wizard Automatic was well designed and reliable.

As with all my restored machines I've cleaned, lubricated, adjusted, and made the necessary repairs to bring this typewriter back to working condition. It is ready-to-use as soon as you get it home.

**COSMETIC CONDITION**
Cosmetically, this Wizard Automatic is in excellent shape. The white shell with the woodgrain accent and cream keys is a solid 1970s look. The brushed metal accents and control pieces add a clean look to it. Overall the machine has very few wear or use marks and looks like a well-cared-for vintage typewriter.

This Wizard Automatic comes with its original carrying case, which is in fair condition.

**MECHANICAL CONDITION**
Mechanically, this Wizard Automatic typewriter is in excellent condition. The machine types crisply and responsively, all control elements function, and though the platen has hardened some, it only leaves minor indents in the page as you type. It has an elite (12 characters-per-inch) typeface.

**INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING**
Yes, I ship internationally. If you're located outside the continental United States, contact me and I can provide a shipping quote.

**RECOMMENDED EXTRAS**
All of my reconditioned typewriters are ready-to-use as soon as you get them home, but there are add-on items that can make use and care for your machine easier. I have several accessories in stock specifically for this purpose.

You can include any of these extras with your purchase by selecting the appropriate option from the scroll-down menu when you purchase.

**Extra Ribbons**
I always recommend keeping an extra typewriter ribbon in stock. All of my typewriters use inked ribbons, and these ribbons do not last forever.

The life of each ribbon depends on several factors, such as how long it's been opened and how much you use the machine, but all ribbons need to be replaced eventually. I sell ribbons that fit almost all of my vintage and antique typewriters, and I always recommend that you keep at least one new ribbon ready if needed.

**Typewriter Pad**
A typewriter pad is a piece of fabric designed to do two things: lessen the sound of your machine by limiting vibrations that travel from the typewriter through the desk or typing surface, and keep the typewriter from moving around on the typing surface--sometimes called "walking"--as you type and move the carriage.

My typewriter pad is designed to address both of these issues. The pad features a ribbed non-woven fabric top and a rubberized bottom. This allows the pad to both limit vibrations and keeps your typewriter in place both by gripping the machine's feet and the typing surface at the same time.

I always recommend a typewriter pad for all machines, but especially if you're interested in a small portable, or intend to use your machine for heavy writing purposes.

**Typewriter Care and Cleaning Kit**
A typewriter is a machine, and all machines need maintenance. My typewriter care and cleaning kit is designed to allow you to keep your machine in as good a shape for as long as possible. It includes tools such as high-grade machine oil, typewriter brushes, and a cleaning cloth along with a brief guide to guide you on how to keep your machine in good shape.

If you intend to use your machine for anything beyond display purposes, having the care kit around is something I always recommend.

**RECOMMENDED BUYER**
The Webster is a fantastic machine for any purpose. The Brother-made machines are some of the more reliable and user-friendly manual typewriters around. These machines are ideal for new typists, children, and anyone who wants a useable machine for occasional or heavy use.

Thank you, and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
