  1. Very beautiful machine. You sure have success with getting wonderful typewriters.

    1. Typically behind every few successes is a failure!

  2. Really nice, and I love the logo, and the Erika typeface. The ribbon color selector is interesting, neat location - is it a good, or comfortable place for it?
    Thanks for the manual - I can practice my slowly evolving german.

    1. I wouldn't say it's a very good or comfortable place for it—eventually it was moved beside the keyboard. I never switch out of the black setting, though, so it doesn't bother me.

  3. The wire the props them up at the back seems to go missing surprisingly often. I think I need to get onto making some replacements of those. Great little machine that. Enjoy!

  4. A wonderful find, got to love those cheeks! That hard platen was to be expected with such an oldie. I hope your treatment works well for her.

  5. Beautiful typewriter. The 9th picture makes it look like a whole new machine, very neat!
