I've heard you say in the past that you'd like to have an Adler Universal. Well basically here it is - mechanically and in layout it looks just like mine. As I recall, at that time, the parent company was TA under Litton Industries - Truimph Adler. They're the same machine, for the most part - congratulations. Great schreibmaschine - smooth and powerful!
