Description:
Beautiful fully functional machine, incredibly nice black finish. Renamed Olympia Simplex. Some of the previous owners exchanged tips on two keys without marking them on the keyboard (symbols &/5 and /. were replaced by punctuation marks for use in the Slovak language) and painted the case on one side with yellow. Combination of Hungarian and Slovak keyboard.

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).
