Description:
Here we got another electric typewriter of mine. With a beautifully yellowing patina. A Silver Reed EZ20 made in Japan from 1976 if I'm not mistaken. I really like this smooth yet bulky designs of the 70-80s, almost like a rounded cube. It's the reminds me of my Brother AX-15. Everything works perfectly even the ink ribbon and eraser ribbon.
It got a line spacing option of 1, 1 1/2 and 2, it also got a pitch shift between 10 and 12. It got a few special symbols which can be seen bellow in the typeface specimen (on the line above The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog).
Cheers!

Hi my name is Kewin and I'm a 24 years old from Sweden. I have a few hobbies like drawing and playing guitar but I do also like myself some project here and there which is where my interest in typewriters fits in. I have always collected things through my life but I did not expect typewriters to be my next big passion in collecting. I started collecting typewriters in the beginning of 2022 and so far I have 80* of them (3 of which is currently disassembled) . I find it really enjoyable to pickup a typewriter at a thrift store/second hand and starting to clean it up and get it to a working condition to the best of my ability and knowledge. (Excuse all the dog hairs in my pictures, I do actually try to remove the hair before taking the pictures. xD) Cheers!
