Description

Another blast from the past at Coleman’s Military Surplus. An EMP won’t knock this tool out of commission. Just think, this typewriter could have been used to type top secret communiques for the Swedish Armed Forces during the Cold War. Makes a cool display piece, but is also perfectly functional. Comes with plastic storage case with handle. Used, nice condition. Some may need cleaned or lubricated. We wrote a few interoffice memos and most typewriters we tried had good tape and worked well. Genuine European Military Surplus.

Personally, these are great. You don’t need power to use them. But I got to ask, are the ink ribbons available for them? What’s the correct ribbon name for it?

The ink ribbons are prety standard and are still available on Ebay and Amazon. I have a number of old typewriters that i have replaced the ribbons on. At worst you can roll a new ribbon onto an old spindle and it will work.

Are the letters in swedish

No. The typewriter is German. There are two letters in the German alphabet/on the typewriter that are useable for Swedish words. I am unable to demonstrate them here.

where does one get replacement tape[ribbons]s for this typewriter?

The universal ribbons that you can buy on Amazon and eBay work just fine in this typewriter. That is what I am using right now.
