Description:
Already at arrival this Adler Universal is a bit redundant, as I finally found my perfect daily typer with the Underwood Touch-Master 5. Still, I might make space for it if I happen to like it. It looks like an impressive piece of engineering, and the paper injector is very fun, I must admit.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well. I have noticed that adding typewriters to the process has been beneficial to the quality of the text, plus it's just more fun this way.
I have started selling and giving away some of my machines now that I have figured out which ones I want to keep. Some people have asked me for working typewriters, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well. As fun and instructive as it has been, soon it is time to finish this collecting and tinkering and move back to my original intention: writing. I hope.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Adler Universal on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Adler Serial Number page and the Adler Universal By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
