Great looking Ambassador. Congratulations. The Retrotechnica Fair sounds like a wonderful place.
ResponderBorrarEine Ambassador im Zug - ohne Rollkoffer? Um Himmels willen!

BorrarWow - very nice Ambassador and I had originally thought of making my trip to coincide with this fair. Thanks for the Erika pic, now I know what shape to make my ribbon cover!
ResponderBorrarThe black Hermes Media in the first photo- awesome!
ResponderBorrarRaumsparschrift = "Space-saving font" according to Google. Tiny letters? Super-elite type?
ResponderBorrarSeems like it was a wonderful time. Some great finds there! I love the Ambassador strapped to the backpack, and the darker Ambassador is rather attractive. Don't know that I could have left that behind!
ResponderBorrarAww geez... I'm looking for a cylinder player too, to complete my collection. Most of them are selling in AU for absurdly stupid prices.
ResponderBorrarLooks like you saw some great machines though.
And... How did you get your Hermes home!!
You are truly a dedicated collector for bringing that Ambassador home. It looks great!
ResponderBorrarThanks for your comments. To answer a few, Swiss public transports are just marvellous, so I could bring it home quite easily. The Ambassador is not as heavy as it looks, it's less than 20 kg.
ResponderBorrarWhat really caught my eye however is the lilitputian typeface. I put a photo for even clearer comparison.
