Description:
Basic, well-built typewriter with a light keyboard touch. Very well suited for writing longer chunks of text.
To my surprise, the carriage back is not the only main difference with the SM3/SM4. The keylevers have a different design too. Nice detail: soundproofing felt can be found almost everywhere, even behind the chrome plate at the top of the segment.
The case works well and looks gorgeous.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
