Adler J4 Review








....if I could only spell and type!

Carriage parts and type bar rest ready for final assembly
Machine as it is ready for a shower of carb cleaner

Reassembled carriage


Machine ready to remove ribbon & bottom cover or reattach the carriage.
 The 3 levers are all that couples the carriage to the rest of the machine.


Which one was repaired?

Ransmayer Elite Type Slugs






As I ended the typecast I ran out of paper and wanted to end with a.k.a. Gabriel
(what) since there were several models, but I did not find much more information or photos.  The case mentioned in the next to the last paragraph is the carrying case.  The typewriter's plastic housing is quite sturdy and good quality.

Finally Finished

Adler J4 from 1966
After ignoring my project for most of a month I finally finished it a few minutes ago and thought I would give a preview.  I took this one right before I installed the final button.  Now since I must work for a living ..... details of the project and a tour of a nice typer later since I must leave for work :(
