1984 Erika 155 Serial # 7296659 1984 Erika 155 typewriter, Serial # 7296659 Andy Dale's 1984 Erika 155 typewriter. 2024-09-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Andy Dale: 1984 Erika 155 Serial # 7296659 Found at a local yard sale. It's in pristine condition apart from a broken carriage knob which I've repaired with epoxy and I'm happy with how it turned out. This machine feels very solid and well engineered but still seems plasticky in some ways.
