1934 Torpedo 15a Serial # 196048 1934 Torpedo 15a typewriter, Serial # 196048 Mos 6502's 1934 Torpedo 15a typewriter. 2026-08-14 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mos 6502: 1934 Torpedo 15a Serial # 196048 Was a mystery typewriter I bought off ebay, from a listing with poor photos and almost no description. It turned out to be a Torpedo 15a with a Spanish keyboard. Unfortunately the paper feed tray and the margin setting connected to it are missing, and I'm sure replacements are pure unobtanium. It's a shame as this machine has a light, snappy action and would be a joy to use.
