1953 Erika 10 spare parts catalog


Published by VEB Mechanik Schreibmaschinen-Werke Dresden in 1953, Ersatzteile-Liste für die Erika 10 is 59 pages in German. This is better than the Groma spare parts catalog I posted earlier, though not quite as good as the exploded diagrams found in the 1969 Erika one.

1955 Groma N/T/E spare parts catalog


This Groma spare parts catalog isn't as well laid-out or as detailed as the 1969 Erika one I posted last month, and it's only in German, but it is still somewhat useful and fun to look at. I especially like how you could order replacement decals for each of the three models! Published by VEB Groma Büromaschinen, Markersdorf.

This catalog (153+ pages in German, English, French, and Russian) goes into great detail about the mechanics of Erika models 30/40, 32/42, 33/43, and 41. It includes exploded diagrams and a full listing of parts down to the carrying cases. Published by VEB Kombinat Zentronik, Schreibmaschinenwerk Dresden.

Sorry for the slightly worn-out ribbon. It came with a blue/red ribbon in fair enough condition that I'm keeping in because I like the color. I finally went out and bought a brand-new blue ribbon that I will be installing in this permanently!
