    What a relief to see that switch from dhiatensor to qwerty! A Cheapside Featherweight still on my wish-list. They are one of those typewriter models that sellers seem to think are very expensive... so I have to be patient :-) All yours are lovely though.

    Wow, does that Stamford Featherweight have an aluminum typewheel? Tell us more about that one!

    They are all beautiful, fascinating machines.

    Hi, I'm a beginner. Do you think that a "Home Blick" in good condition is worth to buy (the price is 170 UK）, or it had better to wait a BLICKENSDERFER no5? Thanks a lot.
