1939 Remington Rand KMC Typewriter - Antique Typewriter

Remington Rand Model Standard No. 17 KMC--1939 Good Physical Condition. Serial number (J1180689) This hasn’t been used in years but I believe is still in working condition. This Model is the workhorse of World War II. Physically this typewriter looks GREAT. All it needs is tender loving care and a tune up. Just don’t know enough about it. I know the Remington portable typewriters are well known and have many models. The KMC (KMC = Keyboard Margin Control) is very sought after and less common than most! Antique Typewriter. I’m also selling an antique Franklin Rotary Sewing machine. From review online: The typewriter has several nice features, such as this paper bail which stays forward, away from the platen, when you pull on the chromed piece in the center of these photos. Then, when you want it to return, you push down on the piece and it snaps back. On the left there's a typebar unjammer lever and ribbon reverse lever, above the KMC key which controls the left margin: On the right, above the KMC key for the right margin, are a 3-position touch regulator and the ribbon height control, including a setting for using the middle of the ribbon. (But what does "J" mean?) (OK, according to this British user's manual, p. 9, it is a designation for the type of ribbon. While I'm at it, here is a one-page controls diagram.)
