1971 Facit Privat Serial # 809464 1971 Facit Privat typewriter, Serial # 809464 Antti Viherlaakso's 1971 Facit Privat typewriter. 2023-04-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Antti Viherlaakso: 1971 Facit Privat Serial # 809464 Exterior is metal, the panel covered in holes on the bottom is plywood. The machine has two connected paper holders, and it works with double-colored ribbons. The mechanisms related to rotating the ribbon spools are stiff, so the typeface specimen is not as good as it could be. I tried putting some gun oil on those mechanisms, but it didn't do anything. The cover has also seemingly shrunk over time, because it doesn't fit on the machine.

Machine dimensions:
- 34,6 cm / 13.62 in wide
- 30,2 cm / 11.89 in long
- 12,2 cm / 4.80 in tall

Got interested in typewriters somewhere between 2021–2022, and have been collecting since.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Facit Privat on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Facit Serial Number page and the Facit Privat By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
