Description:
A beautiful typewriter waiting for a helping hand. Another member of the Iberia rescue team, but unfortunately it hasn't typed a single line yet.
It's in apparently good condition, but it needs new ribbon spools. I honestly don't know what to expect from this one, so if I manage to dedicate the time it deserves maybe I'll get a nice surprise. At lest there's a good starting point with the good looks and all the parts moving correctly.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
