Description:
A lovely baby blue Everest K2. Has some minor mechanical issues related to the ribbon vibrator movement for now. Bought from a lady who had been holding on to it after her late husband who had used it when he was a student. She couldn't really tell me anything more about it unfortunately.

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.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Everest K2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Everest Serial Number page and the Everest K2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
