Description:
Very clean and fully functional Lettera 22.
I modifyed it by
a) removing touch control. (this lowers touch resistance below setting 1)
b) replacing the springs for all typebars, except the numbers.
All modifications serve the purpose to make the touch a light as possible in order to reduce stress on my finger joints. (They hurt quickly)
Font is Elite Imperial (84) in 2.12 mm escapement (12cpi)
