You have to wonder how the Everest company lost its touch. <br />Thank you Nat, Vikram, Peter, Richard and Jasper for you kind comments. I'm still getting over the excitement of discovering the joys of using this machine.

I'm just so thrilled with this typewriter. I could tell it was ready to rock 'n' roll the moment I opened the case. Beautiful to type with. I think the typecast reflects that? I feel so lucky!

It's a lovely deep red colour. Personally, I much prefer it to fire-engine red. Congratulations on the acquisition!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
