Well...my experiment with a spare Facit case did not work out.  The Diana Administrator's width was fine for the case, but the machine was about 1/4" too tall for the case lid to close.

My back-up plan...win the SGW auction for another Administrator with a factory case.  Which I did.

Case will need some minor patches, touch-up paint, and rust-removal from some of the case hardware.

The 2nd. machine seems to be in good condition...needs a few things repaired and a deep cleaning.  Will find a new home for this 2nd. machine once I sort it out.

More photos when the work is done.

An interesting machine I was not familiar with. I've skipped Royals and Underwoods in my collecting but if that is German must be a nice machine.

Both of my Diana Administrators...side by side after their spa-days.

My first machine (made in 1958) is on the right-side in the photos.  My 2nd. machine (made in 1959) is on the left-side.

Curious differences in their "Administrator" name-plates.  I like the 1958 badge much more.

The 1959 machine has a very week bell ring.  I will take its covers off again to see if I can get it to ring like my 1958 does. 

The 1959 does not hold its Tab stops and seems to clear any stops when a Carriage Return is cycled.  I think the Tab clear mechanism might need a bit of re-forming.

The paint job on the 1958 machine was applied thicker and is more lustrous when I polished up the paint on the covers.  The 1959 is a bit thinner and does not shine-up as much as the 1958.

Pretty sure the 1958 is my favourite of the two.

Both are great typing machines.
