Are there any typewriter experts here? I got this little guy the other day, it's a Privileg 300 T from the 70s I guess, judging by the design.

These seem to have been quite common, there's a lot of them on the used market, but I can't find much info about them.

So, does anyone know more about this machine or maybe has a link to a manual?

And in particular, does anyone know what that lever on the left labeled "H - L" does? [Edit: it selects how hard the paper is hit]

[Edit] Lots of great answers, thank you all very much! Have a look through the answers for more info, it seems to be a mechanism made by brother in probably 1974.

@82mhz the lever looks like a line height adjustment to me. Gorgeous colour!
@mystickal
The colour is the main reason I picked this one :)
The lever actually selects how hard the typebar hits the paper. Line height adjustment is on the carriage on the left side, but it's hard to see in the picture.
Cheers!
@82mhz run hard on H to piss off the neighbours ✌️
