I will include a print from a pdf copy of the user manual. No key (they are small and get nearly always get lost in the mists of time) but the case is unlocked and the clasps just snap open and shut using your thumbs. The catches have the onset of some surface corrosion but function perfectly. The carry case is in good condition too with only the odd minor bump and light scuff. When I say 'used' I am alluding to the paint which has various scratches and scrapes lets call it 'character' shall we? There are no cracks or dents just paint rubbing at the corners and edges - See pics for all the detail. This is all metal and in 'used' condition and fully functioning. They are big and heavy enough to take the hammer and crank out lots of work, but small enough to carry around without putting your back out. 3.Facit typewriters were made in Sweden and are absolutely gorgeous and very well made indeed.

Facit TP2.The SM4 and Socialite are the fastest Olypias I have. Readers of this blog may recall this one when it was covered in mildew or when it almost ended up on the scrap heap. It is the mechanical deficiencies that bug me. Maybe when I am finished with the repairs it will type as good as it looks. One thing I of which I am certain, the typewriter companies did not make as many spelling and typing mistakes as I make. I think I can fit some thrust or wiggle washers on the right end. This is the Facit TP2 cleaned and I thought ready to use, but the left margin shifts because the platen can move latterally just enough to cause mis-alignment.
I left it alone rather than have the screws move while typing if I did loosen the lock nuts or worse yet, strip the corners off of the nuts. I need to grind the outside down a bit or find one that is offset and grind a part of it. A 5.5mm ignition wrench is just a bit too big. Looks like the upper case must be lowered a bit, but first I must make a wrench. Thought I'd leave the alignment testing on the first part.
