1964 Adler Tippa 1 Serial # 4519404 1964 Adler Tippa 1 typewriter, Serial # 4519404 Ian Brumfield's 1964 Adler Tippa 1 typewriter. 2014-09-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ian Brumfield: 1964 Adler Tippa 1 Serial # 4519404 I got this wonderful Tippa 1 from none other than Duffy Moon, who lives in my locale. It came with the original manual and carrying case, and he was gracious enough to include a correction pencil with a brush on the end. The case needs a serious overhaul (our local upholsterer said that it was too much even for his equipment) and it is amazingly loud for such a small machine. The carriage is silent, though. What gives?

There is something that appears to be a cigarette burn on the right side, the margin release/typebar release causes the machine to seize up occasionally, and it has a pointed problem with ribbons equipped with a brad. The paper release and the carriage return lever on the right side of the carriage are in different positions than you'd expect, so that takes a little while to get used to. Those things said, I love this typer and once I find a way to make it quieter, it will be my go-to portable.

UPDATE: (4/26/14) Sold this machine to Richard Polt at the Cincinnati Spring Type-In. It was quite an event!

I love when a typewriter has the decal from the place where it was originally sold. It gives a history to the machine. The cigarette burn (?) is above the decal.

The case exterior is a tough faux leather, and the inside is an interesting plaid color scheme.
