After gifting my Predom (Facit) to a writer friend that will make much better use of it, I finally made my mind which one clean and set up for use.

It's a beautiful thing! I truly have a soft spot for machines designed in the 50s. Not a hard angle in sight!

I had it for at least a year and never came to properly clean it for use. It might be a bit silly but what made me fall in love with this machine was the colour selection button, not a lever, a button that cycles the three options.
