A productive evening

My Adler Contessa de Luxe now works! It has a lovely font. I cleaned it, changed (respooled) the ribbon, and made a few little adjustments. It still has two problems: one of the sticky keys is still sticky (the others aren't anymore), and the bell doesn't work most of the time. But I'm happy, it's the first machine I actually repaired.

I was wondering the other day if it would be possible to convert a typewriter into a printer (for words anyway, not pictures). That would be fun.

It can't be too hard using an electric typewriter like the Lettera 36. It could be fun indeed.

We would be reinventing the teletype though.
