We might want to select a machine that would be just a little less expensive to build.. although if it's too cheap, it won't ship well!<br /><br />This is the silly part of being somewhat famous, I guess. This actually happens quite a bit. Just yesterday I had to message an e-Bay seller who has a really really nice Monarch No. 2 because he/she just plucked the content from my Davis Typewriter Works post on the Monarch right off the page and stuck it in the auction. Usually I say something like "either give me credit or remove it," the followup to which of course is report to e-Bay if they do neither. <br /><br />At one time there was an informal "police squad" of Portable Typewriter Forum members who alerted me every time someone ripped content off of one or another of my sites -- and some of them even were e-mailing the sellers themselves to get the content off or else! <br /><br />This hobby is always lots of fun, isn't it?Will Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04371377137844175320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-66834748224199558662012-10-29T21:00:45.665+11:002012-10-29T21:00:45.665+11:00Internet is so fast: from tw collector to tw produ...Internet is so fast: from tw collector to tw producer.

This one is absolutely hilarious!<br /><br />Interesting to note that the Alpina was produced by Will Davis.

Whether they are made in the States or elsewhere I do not know. Since they are on the US Gov. approved list it makes me think they are in the US since government contracts generally require US goods. Then berets for the troops show up and they are made in China. Go figure.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
