1975 Adler Gabriele 25 Serial # 15428997 1975 Adler Gabriele 25 typewriter, Serial # 15428997 Tas Kyprianou's 1975 Adler Gabriele 25 typewriter. 2023-04-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Tas Kyprianou: 1975 Adler Gabriele 25 Serial # 15428997 This is as beautiful to type on as it is ugly. This Gabriele 25 came to me looking like it had smoked 20 Marlboros a day, all its life. I bought it purely as it would have been my first Techno Elite font machine. Oh my goodness. I adore it. THE smoothest carriage return of ANY of my machines (by a long shot) and one of the prettiest typefaces. Every time it's used it just gets on with the job and makes a thoroughly brilliant job of it. I've been tempted to buy another so this can have a case and a branded ribbon cover but somehow it's happy to get along with neither. When I want a no-nonsense machine to get on with a task, I'll often reach for my 25.
(The font is almost identical to the Hermes and Facit Techno elite with only the 5 being different - as far as I can make out)

The rubber feet added are from Amazon. Little 22mm squares that fit perfectly and grip really well. I've fitted these to some of my other machines with great success.

All of these machines I've seen discolour around the rubber washer area. The + - selector is just a space, there is NO mechanism on the 25s underneath.

EVERY machine needs one of these buttons - no more "I8m" typos

Points: 4286

UK member with Greek Cypriot heritage, living in London.
Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of a nice, round, 40 machines . . . and any new addition will be on a strict "one in - one out" basis.

My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
