Description:
This typewriter needs a good cleaning and removal of the old congealed oil. The scrolling of the ribbon does not work and it needs a 16 mm ribbon and special spools for correct writing. I tried using the basket from model 4 and it works. Similarly, the basket from model 3 works correctly in model 4. Czech and Russian keyboard.
UPDATE 11/2023:
This typewriter decided to travel to the USA.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Mercedes 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Mercedes Serial Number page and the Mercedes 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
