Description:

A Dutch-made black and sports car yellow Adler Tippa S. Basket-shifted with an adjustable tabulator. Nice enough to type with, but kinda loud. This was my main ultra-portable before getting a Lettera 32, and I got a lot of use out of it. Now it's relegated to a back up role, as the Lettera 32 is just a better machine in almost every way. Will do a list of pros and cons later. Internally this and the Adler Contessa de Luxe seem to be exactly the same machine.

Has the standard Pica typeface and the older version of the Finnish standard keyboard layout, which differs slightly from the one still in general use.

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.
