Description:
Nice deal, another "decorative element" bought online.
Needs a good cleaning and some fresh oil .
Dutch QWERTY layout.
Update 11 april
I've taken the Swissa outside on this nice sunny day in Rotterdam.
A first time cleaning and polishing this machine, it gave a nice patina back.
I didn't polish it to showroom shine, I like the slightly blackened ageing.
It was a risk buying this machine online, case was completely shot, and the pictures were vague.
Sadly the platen is also rock solid, but for €15,-/$16.50 (depending on the mood of your president :-) it's still a nice buy.
I will get some shrink tube for this one as well, untill I can find a good platen.

Hello,
Typerwriterfan from the Netherlands, recently bought a few typewriters again and started cleaning and adjusting them.
I haven't touched a typewriter in a long time, but it's fun working with them again.
This is a great database and I will try to contribute too.
Have a nice day,
