Description:
A very nice Triumph Matura Super. A beast of a machine. Basically a behemoth. It is the biggest typewriter I've seen that isn't also a calculator or a book typer. The SG1 is up there, but not as big as this. It is truly great in feel. Compared to an SG1 I kinda prefer this in terms of typing feel, but the SG1 has more features.

I am a Norwegian fellow who enjoys tinkering and fixing up typewriters. One day I decided I wanted a typewriter to write letters on. I bought one that turned out not to work. I got annoyed and decided I should be able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I did it, but the rush of successfully mending such an intricate machine was like a drug. I wanted more. I decided I would try to buy non-functioning, but pretty machines, fix them and sell them before repeating the process. What I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machines I fix so now I suddenly find myself a bit of a collector.
