Description:
A very nice and easy machine to type on, with a beautiful crisp Techno Elite typeface.
Segment was very gummed up, and is missing a few parts: a case screw and washer, the carriage lock spring and the carriage return lever spring.
The rubber feet were also petrified.

Software engineer by day, and typewriter newbie by night.
I got my first typewriter when I was a child, one of the kid's plastic ones, but was not satisfied.
I moved on the first real one, a portable Silver-Reed Silverette S, which I still own today, and use once in a while.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Facit 1620 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Facit Serial Number page and the Facit 1620 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
