I have a consul 232 on the way to NYC. I missed a gorgeous one in just blue, but then found this two-tone in blue and a buttery lemon, very pretty. It is the only typewriter I can say I splurged on, and if I like it, it will be worth every penny.

(Also on the way are two Hermes Babys (sea foam green and orange), and a Royal Royalite in two-tone gray I am very excited about.)

I have three of these and they are wonderful machines, with a very satisfying feel to the keystroke and an authoritative “crack” when the type slug hits the page. But an even better machine is the Consul Deluxe, a larger (portable class) machine and a magnificent typer. It’s very heavy for its size, quite rugged and well-built, but handsome as well. This one is tied with my Hermes 3000 as my go-to machine out of the two dozen I own. I don’t see many Deluxes for sale, but well worth the search if you can snag one.

Do you know any connection to this Consul 232 and Ferlette typewriters?

In reply to Mark.

In a way that is the difficulty in reviewing any typewriter – most of them are 30+ years old, and due to their condition, it’s no longer a control study situation. I was irked at the action on my Olivetti Studio 44 and then replaced it with a different one, same model – strikingly different and improved.

Alignment has a lot to do with a specific machine. It’s unfair to suggest all Consuls have poor alignment unless you are speaking from having typed on several.
