Description:
Who wouldn't want to have a superbrilliant typewriter?
This is one hefty machine, solid, stable - more suitable for your office. If you attempt travelling with it though - you'll soon be able to pick up mushrooms without bending down.
Very nice and smooth to type on.
Those eagle-eyed will notice the missing tension adjustment selector in the hole on the left side of the keyboard - indeed it had arrived in three pieces. I tried to glue them back together - we'll see if that will work.
Though in the meantime I will do some drawings and try if I could fashion a replacement out of wood (RobB will most likely help choosing the right one) or out of solid metal - adding 10kg (more or less) won't make a difference with this machine.
