Description:
Excellent workhorse. Somehow the keystrokes are amplified. This makes it possible to type lightly while creating a consistent, dark print. Pressing the tab key is like firing a cannon.
Has a recoverd platen.
Update January, 2021: it turned out the tabulator brake was stuck, after I fixed it pressing the tab key is not that scary anymore.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
