Description:
I like this typewriter. It is elegant, well made, simple, and nice to type on. It is Junior. Like it will be grown up some day :D There is no right margin, therefore no bell, no colour selector, no backspace, no paper support...
It is the cheapest model of a really good typewriter. Although there is no ring at the end of the line, I really love typing on it. It is making a lot of other characteristic noises, so that is covered. I was surprised by how fast the machine is. The wooden spacebar is stylish! Sold in Brno.

I am a passionate amateur mechanic from the Czech Republic, and I have always mesmerized by the complexity of typewriters since my childhood. The first one (Zeta 1501) was just a toy to me in the beginning, but by every year I got older I got also better at understanding how it is working and how to disassemble it and assemble it again. The second one was Ideal DZ33 which started my love for antique machines with all the chrome and glass keys.
My machines range from mint ones through a majority of well-used machines to piles of rust that I have repaired to be typewriters again which is a lot of fun for me.
I am quite obsessed with the beauty and technical genius of standard Continentals. I love how they were producing one model of a typewriter from 1904 to the '50s with constant changes in design and my goal is to collect every decal and every major variation of them.
