Description:
So far it has received only a cleaning on the outside. The typebars are not terribly sticky, but a little stiff none of the less.
Very precice, snappy feeling.
Basket shift
Have to clean it and get used to it a bit, then I'll see whether this is such a great typer to me as the Adler Standard (which seems to be 99% the same machine) is to Richard Polt.
On the side, it reads "RBD.Breslau" which stands for "Reichsbahndirektion Breslau". This typewriter has been involved in railroad-train administration in Poland as it seems.
The feet are so wasted, it's a pain to look at.
Gave it away in 2020
