Description:
Red Torpedo 18a in a great condition, good looking and mechanical perfect. Neither cleaning nor lubricating was necessary.
And I'm proud being able to unravel the old mystery about the difference between the 18a and 18b - just look at my pics :)

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Torpedo 18a on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Torpedo Serial Number page and the Torpedo 18a By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
