Description:
Cosmetically well preserved specimen with quite some repairs under the hood. Unfortunately these repairs were not sufficient, the typewriter was barely functioning. It took almost 20 hours to get this machine back into working condition.
A stamp with a postmark from 1972 was found inside the machine. This may may suggest the typewriter was still in use two decades after it left the factory.
The inside of the case has a soft, fabric-like coating to protect the machine from scratches.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
