Many thanks for posting all the graphics! Actually (re)printed some.

I absolutely loved the color, it seemed to work well enough, but near half of the platen was GONE! I decided against purchasing it based on this, as a new platen would push the cost of the typewriter over what I wanted to spend. A lovely machine, though, and it is great to see you have one!<br /><br />My god...can you imagine how great it would be for you to show up at the next meeting?! Oh, please do! I didn't think I could be more excited about the next one...but now I am! Hey! Bring Scott with you!L Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585495720234064210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-30285890666687759082012-10-29T05:16:50.018+11:002012-10-29T05:16:50.018+11:00Wonderful find!
