... Well, new old stock (never used, made in Brazil in 1984). A batch of Facit 1740s are on offer, probably for $100 apiece + shipping. Contact Dave Streko at dmstreko@verizon.net. Thanks to Dan Johnson for providing this information and showing us his machine here. It has some very unusual features.

Heh, I wonder how many of these will end up in the Database... :D
All of them, I hope! They are large, not exactly elegant looking, but very nice machines.

It appears that this machine is built on virtually the same template as my India-built Linea. I'd be interested in seeing just how close they really are under the hood.
