It does have an interesting techno typeface and could very well turn out to share a manufacturer with your Facit! Ted will respond quickly, I'm sure.Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-79359161308815951752012-02-18T22:06:39.455+01:002012-02-18T22:06:39.455+01:00Adwoa,

I knew I saw a Techno typeface similar or matching mine on my Facit TP1. This, I am sure, it it. I thought it was your Dora, but that one is different. The Ww gives them away. Very nice post from a very nice typewriter. Check out the slugs and see if they are from CSA.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-91923248755443141002011-03-04T21:43:57.624+01:002011-03-04T21:43:57.624+01:00whoa I have the same typewriter! any idea what ri...whoa I have the same typewriter! any idea what ribbon would work for it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02701950872893058747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-5342879852253901572011-01-10T19:22:06.225+01:002011-01-10T19:22:06.225+01:00Hi Georg!

What's the serial number of this cute machine?
