Rheinmetall KsT Typewriter, 1959, in Garden-Colours
This 1959 Rheinmetall typewriter is in extraordinarily fine condition and has the most wonderful typing action. These Rheinmetalls are marvels of engineering: the typing action is incredibly light and they have a very consistent typing action. Every key strikes the platen with precisely the same feel as every other key. The wonderful, garden-green colours are from the factory and the entire machine is in exceptionally fine condition. It has been fully reconditioned and comes with its two vintage metal ribbon spools and a new ribbon. Absolutely perfect and ready for you to type!
Cosmetically, this typewriter is as perfect as it gets: no chips, fading or other damage. Mechanically it is working as if it just came out of the factory!
Rheinmetall is known by typewriter enthusiasts to be a very high-quality typing machine. Its action is smooth and solid, soft and sure. The body colour finish is completely original and is unblemished by sun or any other factors. This typewriter has been well-protected and very well cared-for during its lifetime. It is in exceptional condition in every way, is fully working and has been fully serviced, aligned and adjusted. We have outfitted this KsT with a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately.
The keyboard is QWERTY and has additional keys for European languages. If you prefer a German keyboard (QWERTZ), that is also possible. The typeface is Pica with 10 characters per inch. The platen is in wonderful condition: clean, smooth and soft with a hardness reading of ~92 (ideal is 85 to 95). The rubber feet are in excellent condition.
Acme typewriters has long been the choice of discerning collectors and writers. Acme typewriters are carefully selected, beautifully restored and come with a one-year mechanical warranty and lifetime customer-service. Each comes with a metal seal, attached to the body, identifying it as a fully-restored Acme typewriter. Most shipments to the US arrive in 3 days--often much faster than most domestic shipments within the US. Many new dealers strive to imitate us--none succeed.
The original case is in rough condition cosmetically, having done its job well over the decades. Nonetheless, it is in solid condition and will transport/store this typewriter well.For a discussion of Rheinmetall/Supermetall typewriters visit:
