Description:
A Model 7 breitwagen in pretty miserable conditions but after years (decades?) of abuse is now in safe hands.
Large carriage are unusual today even if Adler offered the Model 7 with 7 different carriage widths; this is the wider option available and was very expensive, considering the cost of the 60 cm carriage alone was 200 RM while the cost of a Model 7 with regular 30 cm carriage was 370 DM.
I will try to make it working again, removing rust and restoring the mechanics but keeping aesthetically the typewriter as it is, with no repainting or fake decals.

Interested in historic motoring and vintage cars, I received a typewriter as a bonus when I bought and old off-road car. The previous owner had found somewhere a typewriter produced for the German army and when he sold me the car he gave me the typewriter too. As I learned later, it was a1961 Olympia SM7 Robust..
Of the typewriters I value more character than perfection, the signs that time has left and the stories - or fragments of stories - of those who used them ...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Adler 7 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Adler Serial Number page and the Adler 7 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
