Sure.  I have an Underwood that requires manual advance (there's a
piece missing; they wouldn't have been so popular if they all required
manual advance...it would probably be easy to fix; I've never had
reason to before...) and my father's old Erika portable, that I
learned on in the 60s...the real 60s; I wasn't old enough to go to
woodstock but I did have book reports to write...I would recomend the
Underwood, its a beautiful machine, and once repaired will work much
better than the Erika.
