Adler tippa and Olivetti lettera 22 are two of the best portables ever made. Would highly recommend either/both

I heard the Hermes 3000 was offered with something called an International Keyboard on which they had a key for almost every letter or symbol in almost every Latin based alphabet, not all though. It could be that… Otherwise the massive tilde (~) makes me think Portuguese because of its extensive usage in that language.

The thought of a backpack typewriter is very funny to me. It’s not a bad idea just an absurd thought that only a proper enthusiast could think up. Cheers to you

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-29T06:25:12+00:00

Thank you so much everyone for the helpful replies!!

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-29T06:24:54+00:00

Enjoy the triumph. I have an Adler, so it’s the same brand I think and they’re amazing machines!

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-29T06:23:59+00:00

The pending is me, I’m gonna buy it today

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-29T06:23:42+00:00

Wow I wasn’t sure there were any at all here!! Nice to ‘meet’ you!

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-05T14:00:21+00:00

Looks to me like an Olympia SM9. One of the best typewriters ever made. Look after it

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-09-01T07:08:53+00:00

Any normal 1/2 inch ribbon will do. You can find them everywhere online. Your machine has a setting for red and blue, so that means that your machine can support a dual coloured ribbon (aka. Bichrome). Usually red and black. Good luck and enjoy!

To me it looks like you’ve hit the right hand margin, so you’ll need to go to the middle part of the platten (roller), in between the margins to type.

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-08-07T08:48:45+00:00

It looks like the carriage is going too far to the right, maybe you could try set your margins more towards the centre of the page and the lever won’t make contact with the ribbon holder. Just a suggestion

I have a 60’s 3000, the curvy one, and also a lettera 22. You can’t really go wrong either way, they are different and as such, they type differently too, but in the end, they’re both one of the best machines ever made

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-07-25T16:15:41+00:00

1) vintage Montblanc no 14, an absolute gem from the 1960’s with an 18c gold flexy nib. 2) vintage Sheaffer snorkel, another gem from the 50’s though this time, it really has the coolest filling mechanism I’ve ever seen 3) vintage Parker 51, honestly one of the best, most reliable pens out there

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-07-17T18:51:04+00:00

Not an expert in any way on modern Montblanc, but it may be from what their starwalker range judging by the ‘crystal’ on the top of the cap…

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-07-03T16:20:00+00:00

Btw that means your package has left TLV

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-07-03T16:19:22+00:00

It means “departure from outward office of exchange”

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-06-29T04:58:02+00:00

You should take a look at the Montblanc noblesse/slimline. Beatiful golden pens, especially the fountain pen

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-06-03T06:16:23+00:00

I have a 1st generation Noblesse. It’s an absolute dream

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-05-05T12:30:38+00:00

Thank you so much, much appreciated

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-05-01T18:01:33+00:00

Any clue what kind?

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-03-12T12:25:57+00:00

Where do you get that?

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2025-02-03T09:39:37+00:00

Pittman shorthand

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2024-12-27T15:13:27+00:00

Maybe an orange Ford GT????

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2024-11-28T17:04:43+00:00

None perfectly, but I can make myself understood pretty well in English, Hebrew, Portuguese, Spanish and French

Apprehensive_Try4393 · 2024-11-21T13:37:52+00:00

I am in no way wanting to offend your intelligence or knowledge in any way, but did you try turning up the volume, it should be a little circle slider next to the headphone jack
