Description:
A lovely little machine and a wonderful typer. The solid rubber tube acting as a typebar rest mat is hardened, making the typing experience the loudest I have experienced so far, so it will have to be replaced with something. Bought it as a gift, so probably won't be in the collection for long.

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 have noticed that adding typewriters to the process has been beneficial to the quality of the text, plus it's just more fun this way.
I have started selling and giving away some of my machines now that I have figured out which ones I want to keep. Some people have asked me for working typewriters, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well. As fun and instructive as it has been, soon it is time to finish this collecting and tinkering and move back to my original intention: writing. I hope.
