Description: Typewriter TBM DE LUXE UNIS Yugoslavia Cyrillic Russian Text Late 1980s It is a very rare case when a new typewriter in the package from a country that no longer exists falls into your hands. It was the country of Yugoslavia.Today, the country of manufacture of this device is Bosnia and Herzegovina. The capital of this country is Sarajevo.The typewriter that fell into my hands was never used. I just cleaned off the dust that had accumulated over more than 35 years of storing this device today.It is unique: new, never used, preserved as on the day of its manufacture and will never be produced again.Everything is original! Everything!Cardboard box, foam, case, cardboard inserts holding the font. In short - EVERYTHING!There is one drawback, I think - the print ribbon has dried out. But this is not a problem - I will put a new ribbon in a new package that was made in those years. About the manufacturing company briefly here:"UNIS tbm de Luxe was produced in the Yugoslav city of Sarajevo (modern Bosnia and Herzegovina), the model was produced under license from the world-famous company Olympia at that time. For residents of countries outside the socialist bloc, this model was known as the Olympia Traveller de Luxe, which was a logical development of the line of ultra-portable typewriters of the Olympia brand with more modern shapes and bright colors that attracted attention. Over time, Olympia began to globalize its production and produce its typewriters in countries with lower labor costs - Germany, Great Britain and Canada were joined by Yugoslavia and even the GDR, as well as other countries. This step allowed the Yugoslav factory to open exports of these typewriters to socialist countries, including the USSR. And since the prices for tbm de Luxe were lower than the prices for typewriters from the GDR, and the quality was many times better than typewriters produced in the USSR, the choice of many buyers were in favor of Yugoslav production.The modern public loves this model for its expressive design. UNIS tbm de Luxe can be found in red, orange, white, black, green and even blue, but the most common copies are in orange and red." Otherwise - the choice is yours!
