1951 Siemag II T Serial # 047502 IIT 1951 Siemag II T typewriter, Serial # 047502 IIT Jacob Peacock's 1951 Siemag II T typewriter. 2025-07-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jacob Peacock: 1951 Siemag II T Serial # 047502 IIT The back has a plate for the USAF on it with FY 52 as the year of the contract to make this machine. It came unknown if it works but I got it working in 30 mins. It just needed to be reminded it works to fix itself. It is an elite typeface machine and works very well. When the tab is pressed it is slow to move there and the bell doesn't activate when you near the right margin. Most of this machine seems to have been heavily used then retired to a place to gain rust. The carriage also has the serial number 047502 IIT 32. I believe the button on the top right with no markings is the margin release and it doesn't seem to work.
It would seem the margin release mechanism just wasn't attached internally and still had the screws there. I put it back in place and it seems to work now. The part with the striker attacked seemed to be loose so it was just moving over the margin.
I have also found out that the ribbon cover is made of aluminum while the rest is made of a magnetic metal. Strange that the cover is another metal.
