Description:
East German made Erika/Robotron 126, with French AZERTY keyboard. Excellent shape for such a unique bit of Cold War history. Interesting tidbit: it has two of the same keycaps (the . ; key) right next to each other. That's East German quality control for ya! Purchased from a fellow typewriter enthusiast in New Hope, PA in July of 2025.
