Description:
A nice little Tippa, always a welcome sight.
These are easy to find, extremely light and fairly decent typewriters. But if they were made of glass they'd be less fragile. It's easy to find these machines with broken shells, there's a weak spot just below the carriage where the plastic breaks with no effort and providing extreme frustration. Fortunately this typewriter arrived in good condition, and the only thing it needs is a new ribbon because the current one is suffering from terminal fossilization.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Adler Tippa on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Adler Serial Number page and the Adler Tippa By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
