Description:
Erika 9 machine from 1952. It came to me in a very bad mechanical condition. All in deep rust. It took a lot of time to work on it. There are still minor imperfections, one untypical screw broken off due to a change in the size of the spacing between the lines and subsequent cleaning and lubrication. Fortunately, the rust is gone and the machine is working.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 9 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 9 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
