That is pretty impressive to look at! It's great how it is staid and clean in the front, very square, but then there is all this architectural detail to admire from behind. Business in the front, party in the back... a mullet typewriter? :)

ReplyDeleteFlorian, you are right, Metropolis!

ReplyDeleteYou just made someone on another continent laugh!
DeleteDefinitely that's a machine with a capital M! It's just amazing... And the backside design is sublime, I just adore it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It was one of my early type writer collecting purchases and, yes, the speed is incredible with these things.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the lever to the rear of the right side? On the rear post. It appears to have 3 or 4 positions.
ReplyDeleteThat's the typebar tension indicator. You adjust the tension with the wheel to the left of the indicator.
