Description:
I bought these little colorful plastic caps without a machine. Now I have found a set of these.
If Adler had used a better plastic it could has been a really good typewriter. Types well but the plastic shell and the keys have a bit "sunburn" (they turned a bit yellow)
I realized to late that is has a key for 1, so I write the headline for the typeface specimen with an i.
Pica typeface
german keyboard
The machine dates from 1974. It is impressed in the plastic case

Typewriter collector from Germany. I collect all brands, but like Olivetti the most. I'm not that type of collector that buys the most expensive, old or rare pieces. I love and collect typewriters because it was an everyday product millions of people used. Much of them are well-made and were so expensive for there pre-owner – now, people want not to throw them away, but they don't want them anymore – and so, there are ridiculous cheap. When I see a typewriter, standing around and being so cheap, I cannot abandon it. (I hope my english is at least understandable, feel free to correct me).
