Description:
Bought this from a lady on eBay in England. She did a great job wrapping it up for shipping so it survived the trip over just fine. It needed some repairs, and was in desperate need of a cleaning. Some very thick cake of dust, grease, oils and fats covered large parts of the machine. Certain parts also had some rust, so I rust treated the entire machine. Finally a careful polishing to make it shine. Turned out extremely pretty!

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.
