Description:

I originally got this machine as a parts machine for a buddy of mine. And then I discovered that this one had Ro88 "Bruxelles" slugs. So I ended up cleaning this one (it was downright filthy) and my buddy got my previous Dynacord S, so he could fix his "regular" Dynacord. Awesome machine, and still my "Blue Whale".

Slug shot. Not entirely clean, because I have been putting this machine to good use already. And the Baco silk ribbon it is slightly over inked.

Name of the model and a stamped designation that it was made in East Germany

Bottom of the beast. Not much to see with that bottom plate

I fell into the typewriter rabbit hole due to nostalgia: I used to have a massive Olympia SG1 when I was a kid. It formed my typing habits, which is why I am called a "furious typer" by my coworkers. Came across the r/typewriters page on Reddit which rekindled my love for these wonderful machines. Lets just hope I don't start pushing screens off my desk when I reach the end of a line...

I also have a modest Youtube channel where I document the progress of my typewriter journey: https://www.youtube.com/@Slug_Life
