Description:
Made in France / Mashup unit.
I needed 2 typewriters to make one in excellent working condition. Main parts come from a non-working 1950 unit but some part come from a -working but too much used- 1956 device (covers, keys). Needed a lot of work.
I found a swap between 2 keys between 1950 and 1956.
No tabs.
The older is a military item (black cover), the second is a civil item (grey cover).
12 characters per inch.
Both units were heavy used. Work perfectly. Needed a lot a repair and fixes.

I'm french. So, my typewriters have a AZERTY keyboard ! I hunt portables typewriters on charity sales, garage sales and classified announces. I restaured my own jukebox. I made my hometheater. I watch movies on old laserdiscs as well on new BD UHD.
I work in IT.
