Description:
Local sale. Excellent condition.
This is a "Holland" model, with plastic shell made in Milano, Italy and carry case made in W. Germany.
Has a touch control using a plastic twisting pinion that adds tension to a spring.
Platen rubber ok, rollers ok, types well with backing sheet. Platen rubber width 9 and 1/4 inches.
Machine without case weighs 5 kilograms.
Return lever seems flimsy, but works. Full tab stops, works well. Color setting works well.
Actually, the machine is very nice with some exercise after sitting for decades in a closet.

Retired to the quiet of rural Nebraska to contemplate nature.
Typing down thoughts, prefer that to handwriting.
Not really a collector, just like to tinker on mechanical things.
