Description:
Bought for Fr. 42 at a thrift store, good typing experience within my set of comparison consisting of 6 different typewriters I owned until now. Enables fast typing, though not very soft and very silent (platen?), but precise and responsive.
The design is very fascinating to me. With the two different shades of green and the edged shape, it tries to look modern, but the metal logo reminds of something past, resembling ornamental furniture hardware . So typical for the time period somehow, a future that never was.
Has a disentanglement key.
Recommendation from my side.
Fotos will follow.
