Description:
Herbrew Corona 3. Originally belonging to a Finish author who gave this machine away to a close friend of his family, who gave it to their daughter who finally sold it to me. The return arm on this has snapped, but I have the broken piece. Some day I may manage to fix it. The drawband also snapped, and there is a risk the main spring doesn't work, but I haven't taken the time to look into it yet. Besides these pieces the machine is in pretty good condition! Escapement works when using my hand as a manual draw band to create tension.

I am a Norwegian fellow who enjoys tinkering and fixing up typewriters. One day I decided I wanted a typewriter to write letters on. I bought one that turned out not to work. I got annoyed and decided I should be able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I did it, but the rush of successfully mending such an intricate machine was like a drug. I wanted more. I decided I would try to buy non-functioning, but pretty machines, fix them and sell them before repeating the process. What I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machines I fix so now I suddenly find myself a bit of a collector.
