Description:
Triumph Tippa with the old standard Finnish keyboard layout.
Was very dirty, but everything seemed to be intact. Cleaned it up and noticed it has a mechanical problem: When typing, sometimes pressing a key doesn't advance the carriage, so you get two letters on the same spot. While this could probably be fixed easy enough, it also prints very badly, so this will probably become a parts machine for my other Adler/Triumph ultra-portables.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well.
I will probably start selling and giving away some of my machines after I figure out which ones are most useful to me. Some people have asked me for a working typewriter, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well.
