Description:
This Torpedo 6 with German QWERTZ layout is a local pickup from Facebook marketplace that I collected for a friend who lives further afield. It needs some work - there are broken bakelite parts, crusty feet, broken ribbon vibrator, etc, but all of the keys operate without sticking and the carriage advances, so that's nice! No typeface specimen since the ribbon vibrator isn't working at the moment but it appears to have a normal Pica typeface.

I have learned that I'm a fan mostly of mid-century european portables
