Typewriter Talk / WTB: Erika 10, Aztec 700, Optima Super

Hi typewriter lovers,

I've scoured the interwebs for an Erika 10 in good condition and no luck. If anyone has one that they are looking to sell, I would love to chat.

There are a couple on eBay right now. If you want something local to you it would help to post your location, or add that information to your profile so it appears under your user name.

Thanks, Uwe. I saw those. Not entirely excited about the condition of the one, and the other one is not in a color scheme that inspires me. I guess the smart thing to do is to wait until I find something I'll love.

What colour are you after, the typical Erika green?

I'm looking for the green or silver. Really any of them except for that brown/yellow two tone.

Thanks! I need a QWERTY keyboard, which is sort of where I am running into trouble.

Oh gotcha

I can Tell you from experience, as a qwerty user myself, I got used to writing on a QWERTZ keyboard pretty quickly
