Description:
In full working order and types very nicely despite a couple of sticky typebars. Bigger and heavier than I expected. Not sure about the year of manufacture, but the serial number is smaller than the one mentioned for 1965, so I went for 1964, although I'm not sure if they were actually introduced only in 1965.
Has the old version of the standard Finnish keyboard layout and the Ro88 "Bruxelles" typeface.
Ended up giving it away to a young student in need of a typewriter; hopefully she will get good use out of it.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well.
I will probably start selling and giving away some of my machines after I figure out which ones are most useful to me. Some people have asked me for a working typewriter, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well.
