Description:
A classic problem, a broken ribbon turns this beloved toy into unwanted waste. And yet the repair is so easy...
It is now a fully functional typewriter, including the original packaging and instructions. The label on the packaging states the price in Czech currency (CZK), so the machine was definitely sold after 1992...
This toy manufacturer still exists and has a support line. Unfortunately, they have not offered ribbon cartridges for many years...
It's a shame.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Mehano C193 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Mehano Serial Number page and the Mehano C193 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
