1972 Adler Tippa S Serial # 5387334 1972 Adler Tippa S typewriter, Serial # 5387334 Jonathan Crowe's 1972 Adler Tippa S typewriter. 2022-10-31 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Jonathan Crowe: 1972 Adler Tippa S Serial # 5387334 This is the earlier version of the Tippa S: among other things, it's a carriage shifter. It has a French-Canadian keyboard that curiously includes a ¼ key but not a ½ key. It has the 11 cpi version of the Ro 77 Script typeface, but despite that typeface's lack of descenders it lacks bichrome ribbon support. Manufactured in the Netherlands.

Acquired locally from an estate in February 2021; arrived needing work on the bell, left margin, backspace and left margin. A good cleaning has restored the bell and improved most of the remaining issues; the rest were taken care of during a recent servicing. Types very well.

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