Description:
A great typewriter. The feel of the keys are crisp, comfortable, and easy to manipulate. Some quirks and problems this particular machine has is a hard platen, a malfunctioning tab function, and on the first strike of a capital letter it does not print the top of the letter however if you backspace and go at it again, it prints the full letter. The hard platen Will be remedied by using two sheets of paper and the other issues will be dealt with, with maintenance.

Hello!
My name is Jayson, I live in remote Alaska, and I love the outdoors. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and when I'm traveling I'm collecting things I can't get locally. One item is typewriters.
Being remote such as I am the written or typed word is still very important, whether it is to keep in touch with family and friends or getting a shopping list to the store so a load of groceries can be sent out on the mail plane within a week or two.
Fun fact, in town mail gets flown to Anchorage 410 miles away to be sorted and flown back to be delivered In town! The perfect illustration of government at work. But I digress.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Adler J3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Adler Serial Number page and the Adler J3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
