For sale:
This beautiful 1957 Torpedo 18 a is in great condition. It is cleaned and adjusted, has new feet and a fresh ribbon.
The platen is very hard, and should be resurfaced if the machine is intended for heavier use.
Due to the new and grippy feet, the machine will not scratch your typing surface, and will stay put while typing.
The machine has a Elite Ro 84 typeface (12 (cpi) with a Dutch QWERTY keyboard layout.
Note: the left margin issue from the type sample has been fixed.
Please contact me for any questions.
Pickup preferred, but worldwide shipping available. I'll make sure the machine gets packed well, and will send pictures of the packing process.
