1923 Helios-Klimax Portable Serial # 17882 1923 Helios-Klimax Portable typewriter, Serial # 17882 Reinier Verkleij's 1923 Helios-Klimax Portable typewriter. 2024-07-11 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Reinier Verkleij: 1923 Helios-Klimax Portable Serial # 17882 Helios Klimax typewriter. Save from the trash, which was fun to hear given how much I paid for it. Regardless, the machine works fully and looks alot better after some light cleaning.
The machine came in a travel case which might be aftermarket. This will need some cleaning and repair so Ill take a picture of it when it's done. The machine was attached with two bolts, of which one was extremely bent. Still have no idea how I managed to unscrew it without damaging anything further.
