Description:
Royal Signet -branded Silver Seiko. With Finnish pre-1976 keys.
This is amazingly simple yet sturdy typewriter, metal construction, with plastic protective cover. Nothing special, no tabs. no paper holder, no number one, no exclamation mark. Wonderful little text producing device if you ask me. This seems like a very solid typewriter for someone who would like to simply type text. Touch is snappy, not delicate like Lettera 32, definitely not like the bouncy Lettera 22, but maybe a bit harsh, but with good feedback and producing clear characters easily. I guess this works well for a medium aggressive typist who likes it a bit rough but definitive.
I can recommend this typewriter, especially if you can get one for cheap.
