Description:
I found this typewriter next to the dump in the rain. It was wet, rusty and in places the paint has fallen off from it. I brought it home, removed the body and rubber parts and soak the mechanism in citric acid. A day later I washed everything in soapy water, rinsed, dried and oiled. Then led the body in order.
Now this Consul looks and works like new) Inside the typewriter are some traces of rust, but they do not affect performance.
Now this is one of my favorite typewriters - It is very pleasant to work with.

I wouldn't call myself a HUNTER - I just love typewriters, use them and collect some of them.
