Description:
One of my Halda 6 typewriter, this one with a 38cm / ~12.6inch platen. I believe I only miss two Halda 6 specimens now, the one with the 45cm platen and the one with 95cm platen if I'm not mistaken.
The ones marked with a checkmarks below are those I have in my collection so far and I know exists and have measured. But here are all the Halda 6 platen lengths, I believe exists:
28.5cm / ~11.2inch ✔
32cm / ~12.6 ✔
38cm / ~12.6inch ✔
45cm / 17.7inch
52.5cm / ~20.7inch ✔
95cm / ~37.4inch
This specific machine is smooth like butter and the platen is in a very good condition as well as the machine as a whole. The only things I've done to it is cleaning, a very small adjustment to the type slug segment to line it up with the other segments better on the paper (typeface specimen taken before this was done) and last but not least added some lacquer marker on the keys which had gotten worn off.
Cheers!

Hi my name is Kewin and I'm a 24 years old from Sweden. I have a few hobbies like drawing and playing guitar but I do also like myself some project here and there which is where my interest in typewriters fits in. I have always collected things through my life but I did not expect typewriters to be my next big passion in collecting. I started collecting typewriters in the beginning of 2022 and so far I have 80* of them (3 of which is currently disassembled) . I find it really enjoyable to pickup a typewriter at a thrift store/second hand and starting to clean it up and get it to a working condition to the best of my ability and knowledge. (Excuse all the dog hairs in my pictures, I do actually try to remove the hair before taking the pictures. xD) Cheers!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Halda 6 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Halda Serial Number page and the Halda 6 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
