"My new Pretty!" :smile:

May I introduce:
Grundig (Triumph Adler) Tippa S, built around 1962 - 1964.

Got my 'new' (😋) mechanical typewriter working today! I got it from an estate dissolution where the machine slept in the basement for more than 30 years.

Last night I rusted out the type levers and adjusted the key retrieval. New ink ribbons have already been ordered.

If the machine then work so far, I will continue to unrust it next week and clean the paper roller. Afterwards I want to use this wonderful piece every day. Like it's predecessor, an old Annabella. :smile:

"Print, Baby, print!"

Once again I have come a little closer to my goal of banning as much computer junk as possible from the desktop and putting analog devices in place. Or at least some without USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other things I don’t need in my world. :smile:

Recently my mother-in-law found an old Brother P-Touch 200 thermal label printer in her basement. It's so old that it was actually made in Japan! 😁

Print, Baby, print! 🤭

I repaired it a few days ago and today the ribbon cassettes ordered via #AliExpress finally arrived. In short: everything works perfectly again. 🤩

"A new Toy for old Men! 😁

Last week I received this analog camcorder as a gift. Today's evening I brought the pretty, 30 years old lady (built 02/95) back to life:

The camera has only been used a few times over the years and I didn't even have to clean the head drum. I just regenerated the grease of the capstan bearing and adjusted the tape transport a bit.

Now I just have to dust it off a bit, then it'll actually be like new again. I'm looking forward to using the camera extensively at the harbor in spring and summer... 🤩😍
