Which one should I get for my typewriter?<br /><br />There is little to no information that I could find on typewriters in Hong Kong, thank you very much for your wonderful blog :DJackienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-49028721254880650462013-08-18T16:48:35.268+10:002013-08-18T16:48:35.268+10:00That SM9 produces brilliant type.

And I feel a bit sorry for the wedding party that used it on display. <br /><br />Now I can see why your collection just keeps growing!

Hopefully someday i will reach that exalted level of notoriety that complete strangers will leave typewriters there to collect leaves and provide spider habitat. And an SM9 at that, and not just any old, but one from the early 1970's with the machined swirl on the paper support and guide, and the carriage lock handily on the keyboard. I hope you are impressed with my knowledge of the SM9 lineage. It was gained through the significant effort of multiple eBay purchases of these fine machines.

Too bad about the fragility of the plastic. If plastic didn't break and scratch so easily, I would have better feelings about it.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
