Description:
The fact that this is basically the same machine as my 1975 Adler Tippa S was a pleasant surprise. It's just slightly different in shape and a lot more shiny and orange.
Has the old standard Finnish keyboard layout. Standard Pica typeface.
Given away in October 2024.

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 have noticed that adding typewriters to the process has been beneficial to the quality of the text, plus it's just more fun this way.
I have started selling and giving away some of my machines now that I have figured out which ones I want to keep. Some people have asked me for working typewriters, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well. As fun and instructive as it has been, soon it is time to finish this collecting and tinkering and move back to my original intention: writing. I hope.
