Light cream color. German font. Touch adjuster. No tabulator. Margin release key reverses stuck fonts.

Mechanically the machine is first class. I love typing on it despite the lack of Polish characters.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
