Description:
I booked this typewriter 10 months ago. But Covid-19 complicated everything. I wanted to use it as a source of spare parts for another typewriter, which I had already sold. After basic cleaning and repair of some parts, it is fully functional. But it is all rusty and 2 typebars are missing. 18 "carriage, Slovak keyboard. This is probably another project in the future ...

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
