Another acquisition: This is the Torpedo 18 (18b, to be specific). This unit was built in 1961-1962 but the model is from 1951.
It was in pretty good shape, except for red paint splatter. Turns out it was correction fluid that had leaked at some point, while in its travel case. Took a while to get that stuff of but now it looks fantastic. Got a few things to take care of still (like fix up the ‘W’ key and get a new ribbon) but otherwise it’s in good running order.
