Gabriele 25

The doorbell rang. It was Fiona with a typewriter from a house clearance. Plastic, the odd fracture in the bodywork, missing badge, no touch control, segment (and more) needs a clean.

The font? Techno!!!

  1. Techno? Domo arigato, Mister Roboto.

    I see that these later UK keyboards don't include some of the weird fractions found on older ones, such as 5/8. Is there a relationship to the decimalization of your currency?

    1. I'd never thought of that, but I think probably not. I does have a number one though. Tpecast coming soon.

  2. I have one of these.... In Techno as well! Not the greatest machine, but quite solid.

  3. I wonder how it compares to the Adler J4. Looks quite a bit like it. My J4 is a great typer.

    1. well Bill, I wouldnt know but I think it is an evolution of earlier mid 60s Gabrieles so I wouldnt be at all surprised if they had a lot in common. this one shows promise but needs a good clean and light lube. tippex-free but lots of dust and the fluff of neglect

  4. I'll put my hand up to say that I've got one with techno type as well. I use mine quite irregularly, but they aren't bad!
