Rechenmaschinen - Facit

Home

The most common models appear to be the TK, C1-13 and LX. Facit machines were made well, and they were used for longer while others may have been replaced. This means that, while well used, they were generally kept in better condition than is usual, and I have personally never come across one with any serious mechanical faults. On EBay, they usually sell for very consistent prices around £50, with a few outliers where they have been confirmed to be working.
