Ein schöner Fund mit Geschichte!
ResponderBorrarThat is a great find!!! Congratulations! I never knew Facit was made anywhere but Sweden. Beautiful typeface.
ResponderBorrarGreat find, Georg, well done. Rob Bowker in England put me on to a 1620 for sale here in Canberra. A long story, but it was eventually restored to good working order by a friend, an ex-Facit mechanic, and I found it was by far the best to use of the three Facit portables I have. Love the 1620!
ResponderBorrarWow, this is neat. I never heard of Facits made in Poland.
ResponderBorrarThere is actually a typewriter that can send e-mail: the Qyx! I recently got a brochure for this electronic machine made by Exxon around 1980. It says, "You can even add in ... a communications option so you can mail letters electronically--dialing right from the keyboard." Pretty high-tech!
Congratulations for this new addition, very unique indeed. And it looks new.
ResponderBorrarThat typeface is cool!
