TOTD - Adler J5.
Another quiet day, the news has nothing worth putting on the record, the blogs are quiet, so its time for the second typewriter of the day.
Here is one of my Adler J5's. It is another of my work typewriters here in Fernie. It has lost it's case prior to coming into my possession and the lower part of the case is cracked a bit but it works beautifully. The J5 is a full feature, late model, Typewriter with all of the finest qualities of manual typewriter development built in. A dream to type on, not too heavy, not cumbersome compared to a full size machine and they come with a molded plastic case which makes them impervious to damage while being carried around. The J5 is also a handsome machine, easy on the eyes, someone described them as looking like a jet fighter. I agree. Only downside, the rubber feet, they seem to disintegrate over time. This problem was solved by building replacements with a 3D printer thanks to my nephew Ben.
