Mercedes; vroom vroom

November 20, 2018 By Paul

OK, this is no car yet a very nice typewriter. A customer machine in for a new platen, new paper rollers, new feet and a general tune up. The decal are superb.

The machine is a base model featuring manual ribbon reverse, left side margin stop and no right side margin. Back space and upper/lower case and no tabs.

I like the unusual feet allowing the machine to slide onto rails inside the case.

It had mis-matched ribbon spools so I found another the right size that matched. I’m forever grateful for Mr. Montgomery’s predilection to hoard parts.

 

For you collectors out there, notice some similarities with an American brand? Maybe an Underwood Universal portable perhaps?

Yep, this is the spitting image of that same machine. Everything but the fancy feet.
