WTB: Vietnamese typewriter
As the topic states, I'm looking for a typewriter with a Vietnamese keyboard. It's very close to the French AZERTY, but has a few small variations.
Also still looking for a typewriter with an Icelandic keyboard.
Thanks all!

I'd suggest sending steini a Private Message; I believe he's in Iceland and is open to trades, etc.
The pronoun I has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.

Re: WTB: Vietnamese typewriter
Was curious to see the layout of a Vietnamese keyboard.
Makes a bit of sense that they started with a French layout...
Found these two (2) images on the InterWeb...

Those poor beat up machines!
Interesting to see that the numerals are in the shifted position...

Re: WTB: Vietnamese typewriter
The numerals in the shifted position is typical of French keyboards, so yet another pointer that the Vietnamese keyboard may have been based on the French.

Re: WTB: Vietnamese typewriter
Rob,
Tropics will get them every time. I have seen even worse on machines offered for sale from India.
