The keytops are quite similar to my 197x J5, so I am not surprised to read in the comments it's a little later than 1950s. The mystery of the toffee like substance in old typewriters has yet to be solved… no solvent pun intended!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774016283447881678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081197141675256155.post-86188956085897349472015-01-07T06:42:32.023-08:002015-01-07T06:42:32.023-08:00I have the (original?)

However, ...Thanks Tony, I appreciate your comments. However, I did get the year wrong, I mis-read the serial number and I now know that this machine came into being in 1968. I now remember that the early Adlers after the war were a sort of bronze colour<br />On the subject of the J-series, my statement about Adler still holds true, there was never a better portable made, full stop. Easy to use and really easy to repair.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02138302382154651383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081197141675256155.post-69681206885156707372014-11-13T09:10:02.089-08:002014-11-13T09:10:02.089-08:00I don't know how I managed to miss this post, ...I don't know how I managed to miss this post, but glad to have found it now - every one is a gem - thanks. The video is especially well done - good job to engage a camera man - thanks to him/her also! This post has convinced me to cherish my Adler J4 - a bit cheaper model than your universal, but a Beemer just the same.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081197141675256155.post-68455057739093144392014-10-29T13:20:02.861-07:002014-10-29T13:20:02.861-07:00Beautiful machine.
