FS: Triumph Matura Standard
Hi everyone,
so, the next one from my "collection" to sell. It is a Trimph Matura Standard, serialno. 5014645, which the typewriter database dates to 1962.
More pictures
I cleaned the machine and typed on it. Everything appears to work, though the backspace key needs some careful pressing (but then it does work). As with all my machines, they're located at the edge of the Ruhrgebiet, NRW, Germany.
I suggest a price of 30 € plus shipping costs to wherever you live, but beware that this machine is heavy! Please PM me if you are interested.
Greetings
sirius
PS: The other machines I advertised are still available as well.

What I forgot to mention, but probably is important: The small "matura standard" label on the carriage is self-made out of paper. The original label is gone.

Re: FS: Triumph Matura Standard
If only you were closer... I would buy that typewriter in a heartbeat. I love the Matura and keep waiting for the Standard variant like yours to turn up in my area, but I don't think many were imported to Canada, so I'm still waiting. Good luck on your sale - and hopefully some lucky enthusiast will end up with it soon.

Re: FS: Triumph Matura Standard
Yes - had my chequebook out - but seeing your location, I put it away again. Germany to Australia? - ouch.
Great machine though; I'm sure it will sell.
Sincerely,
beak.

Re: FS: Triumph Matura Standard
Nobody has approached me on this machine. I have put it up for sale on hood.de now:
The auction lists shipping only to Germany, but of course you may just as well request shipping elsewhere on the world. Just post here or PM me and we'll talk the problem over. Beware that it weights about 15 kg.

Re: FS: Triumph Matura Standard
It appears it is impossible to sell this machine; two times on ebay and once on another website, nobody wants it. Thus, take your chance. I give this machine away FOR FREE now. You just have to pay the shipping costs. It takes up too much space here and I definitely have to get it out.
