Description:
East German model many equate to the fabled model M; an apt comparison. With the visible margin set easily via the buttons on the carriage, tab set and clear buttons on the left and d o u b l e s p a c e on the right. The quirky window for your computer selector, spring loaded ribbon cover, and locks for the case inside the machine are all points that I appreciate. The typing experience was very similar to my model M, and I feel this will get a lot of use in the coming years.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 20 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 20 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
