Description:
One of the last Durabels. At most 3.082 machines later, this model was renamed to Gabriele.
This Durabel was in bad shape. The carriage return lever was bent downwards and did not work properly. The ribbon cover was deformed, some key levers and typebars were bent too. Inside the machine was a big chunk of plaster.
Now the machine is restored to working condition and performs very well. This Durabel proved to be worthy of its name.

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.
