Description:

No longer in my possession, I have sold it on eBay after adjusting and cleaning, as I needed the room for more.
A plastic body machine, but an Adler nonetheless. Carriage shift (quite heavy). Pica.
Very snappy action after a serious cleaning, but very complex to work on, and it still has many issues I haven't been able to solve yet: sticky vibrator in Shift, caps out of adjustment (too low), left margin not always working, tabs not always working, ratchet not always engaging fully on the line

Software engineer by day, and typewriter newbie by night.
I got my first typewriter when I was a child, one of the kid's plastic ones, but was not satisfied.
I moved on the first real one, a portable Silver-Reed Silverette S, which I still own today, and use once in a while.
