Can you provide a pic of the Millenium Falcon?

I'll get a picture posted tonight. It's the original version of the toy, so it has a little motor with a noisemaker instead of a digital sound effects chip. The top hatch, cockpit hatch, satellite dish, and gun turret are missing, but all three landing legs are still there.

I might be interested in the typewriter. Does everything function fine on it? What type of ribbon does it use? And how much would shipping be (ballpark)?

I'm also having a little difficulty finding the model.. Got any more information on it?

Which typewriter are you referring to: the Smith Corona electric, or the Royal manual?

The Smith Corona is an SD-800. It takes the same type of ribbon cartridges used by most modern Smith Corona typewriters, which are widely available and generally $8-$15 at office supply stores. It comes with a power cord and the original snap-on keyboard cover with carrying handle. There is a ribbon cartridge currently in it, which is good and does have some use left in it (but I don't know how much of the ribbon has been used).

The Royal is a Heritage III. The Heritage typewriters are slightly modified Royal Futura 800s rebranded for sale through Montgomary Ward. The typewriter works perfectly, though the screw on the carriage-return lever needs to be tightened. (This takes maybe two minutes and a small wrench or pliers; it's just a small screw and a nut that make up the joint). It takes a generic small spool ribbon, used by most portable manual typewriters and many printing calculators. These can typically be had for $3-$10 at office supply stores. There is a ribbon currently in it, but it is out of ink. This typewriter comes with its original carrying case, which the typewriter latches into for secure carrying. It's manual, so it does not need a power cord. It is light blue in color.

If you give me your zipcode and let me know which one you want, I'll try to get a shipping estimate. Typewriters aren't the lightest things in the world, but I can't see shipping being more than about $20.

...I just realized these images are flipped. (Photo Booth by default gives you a mirror image, which you manually have to flip back). Sorry about that; but these should still give you a pretty decent indicator of the condition.

Not interested, but thanks for posting the pics.

Yeah, there's a reason it's cheap
