I especially appreciate such detailed history in accompanying these typewriters. <br />My question if anyone knows has to do with the (typeset shift carriage 'apologies for novice description'). From these pictures that part of the portable Rheinmetall and Comedor look distinctly similar to Smith Carona portable of those same years. ?Is there a similarity or are these essentially the same part?<br />I ask because it would make Rheinmetall far easier to refurbish and thus repair if some of these parts were interchangeable.. but would that effect the value if such parts were salvaged from a S&C typewriter?<br />William Beaulieu: USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-23049416894155504742023-09-23T08:55:21.037+10:002023-09-23T08:55:21.037+10:00find the numbers here;

Or/and a Commodore. <br /><br />Just a quick note: I once met Jack Tramiel in (I think) 1989 at a Commodore trade show in Sydney. The guy could have potentially changed the world of computing at the time, and it is a shame to see his beloved company has more or less mirrored the fate of the typewriters that started it.

It's interesting that the woman you spoke to was so willing to believe that her Commodore was more impressive and more valuable than it really was.
