Description:
There must be something that prevents me from getting a functional Rheinmetall.
This KsT was supposed to be fine, but there's always something. In this case we have the usual suspect: someone dropped it. The carriage wobbles, the drawband isn't properly attached and if you look at it from a resaonable distance you could think the machine is alright. I've convinced it to give me a typeface sample, and turns out it's quite nice! I'll have to deal with this one at some point. I say that a lot, just wait to the day it becomes true...

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Rheinmetall KsT on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Rheinmetall Serial Number page and the Rheinmetall KsT By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
