Description:
Good condition. Comes with a case and a base plate that attaches to the bottom and fits the case. Finnish/(Swedish) layout.
Functionalities:
- Repeating space: press down the space bar completely to get repeating action
- Fine adjustment of the platen: pull the left platen knob out to roll the platen freely. When you put it back, the platen will stay on that position and not snap to to a line above or below. Contrast this to the platen release (fourth setting in the line space lever) that only releases the platen temporarily but remembers the set lines.
- Four ribbon settings: top, middle, bottom, stencil. These are not denoted by color, but by vertical lines.

Hello. I'm from Finland and have a very small (4) collection of typewriters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 120 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 120 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
