Uwe, it's a great machine, indeed. I sat with it most of last night, and enjoyed it. It's really clean and appears to have been used little by its sole owner. I did notice the bell doesn't ring at the end of the line.

I did notice it has keys not found in most typewriters: the "tilde" and accent marks, for example, which will prove useful to Spanish speakers such as myself. Curiously, it doesn't have an asterisk key.

I also would like to know how to set the tabs.

Flip the paper table back (where the Quiet De Luxe badge is). The manually adjusted tab stops should be under there.
