Description:
[This machine has been sold] A lovely Erika M with Swedish keyboard layout. In a very good state for sure. Paint on the front panel has had some damage sometime in the past which has been attempted to be repainted with not too much care. All in all a good looking thing for sure.

I am a Norwegian fellow who enjoys tinkering and fixing up typewriters. One day I decided I wanted a typewriter to write letters on. I bought one that turned out not to work. I got annoyed and decided I should be able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I did it, but the rush of successfully mending such an intricate machine was like a drug. I wanted more. I decided I would try to buy non-functioning, but pretty machines, fix them and sell them before repeating the process. What I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machines I fix so now I suddenly find myself a bit of a collector.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika M on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika M By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
