Description:
This typewriter I had saved from the removal to the landfill.
It was very dirty and thickly smeared with grease.
Decals were overwritten, the paint on the keyboard frame crumbled.
After thorough washing under a hot shower with menthol shampoo and after repaint this machine began to look and work much more decent.
The difference of this typewriter from others is that the carriage return lever is located on the right side. of the carriage. The left lever is the cariiage release lever.
Years have passed, and the machine still smells like menthol)

Hi everyone!
I'm Sergei, I was made in Russia)
A psychologist, a collector of all sorts of vintage junk, typewriters, alarm clocks, and so on.
I love typewriters, and typewriters love me))
I wouldn't call myself a HUNTER - I just love typewriters, use them and collect some of them.
