T...I've always wondered about myTypewriter.com. Thanks for discussing it. Though the prices seem outrageous, there is much truth to the saying, you get what you pay for. I bought a Royal KMM typewriter from Los Altos Business Machines in Los Altos, California, and paid $250 for it. That's a lot more than I'd pay for nearly any typewriter on eBay. But, I got a great typewriter and life-time service on the machine. Once, when I brought it in for an adjustment, the owner noticed a missing part, which he replaced with one from a spare machine. I'd gladly by another typer from him.Mark Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087643223654844576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-8567668343490261622013-10-02T13:20:57.312+10:002013-10-02T13:20:57.312+10:00Thanks for the welcome, Robert.

On both occasions, I got excellent service and equally excellent condition machines. I also got the chance to pick up a Royal Quiet DeLuxe from Gramercy Typewriter in NYC last June and I recommend them just as highly. Every inch of that machine was in stunning condition: putting on (what appears to me as) brand new rubber feet and they even went to the trouble of making sure the ribbon spools were metal.Toronto guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-73478432206733652532013-10-02T04:14:25.564+10:002013-10-02T04:14:25.564+10:00Robert, your posts are exhaustive and exhausting -...Robert, your posts are exhaustive and exhausting - but I got there in the end, thanks. As a self-employed graphics type, I charge my time at £300 a day - that's on the basis that I may have gainful employment 100 days of the year. If I had to sell my new Graphika, serviced and in working condition - though not professionally ministered to - I'd have to sell it on at £400 plus if I was in the business. Maybe that's how the get rich quick merchants do it? my.typewriter was a great help when I started collecting in earnest, if only for the back stories. The prices of course are something else. The golden rule applies in all circumstances, <i>caveat emptor</i>.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-57222461226189803842013-10-02T02:00:08.166+10:002013-10-02T02:00:08.166+10:00Nice roundup of the news!
