There was a"Super Correct" if I'm recalling that accurately. Typical 60's SCM but with black accents. It was loaded with a regular red/black ribbon so I don't know where "correct" came in unless it was a separate mechanism or had the "wrong" ribbon loaded.
The 2nd was a Sears SCM (why are they following me?) with the same SCM body but a strange "power ribbon" that looked like a regular ribbon in weird enclosed spools. I suspect the are motor-driven somehow. That one had the book I really should have checked it. The "Power Ribbon" switch had four colors around it - red, black, blue and green. No idea how that works.
Other than those there were a few 80's ones and a lot of wedges.
online, I found this Underwood and I can't date it or decide if I want to bid on it:
So, if anyone recognizes that model I'd be grateful for any info.
Looks a lot like my No 5, except for the CR lever, which is much longer than mine.
ReplyDeleteI thought it looked a bit more compact than their standards though. Not sure
ReplyDeleteAw, you should have got that Sears! I love them too much really, I have 3 of them all rather similar. Though admittedly one is for parts for the other two, I've switched body parts with one to give the good one a green bottom instead of dull brown.
ReplyDeleteAnd with the manual and that kind of ribbon! (I have a ribbon like that, they're incredibly rare now I'm told) Go back and buy it I say! :p
hmm it would cost about $7 and a lot of marital stress... what would you pay for the ribbon and manual? or the whole thing?
ReplyDeleteIt looks just like your red/black machine.
Peter, did you win this bid? I'm curious.
ReplyDeletethis one doesn't end until the 17th
ReplyDeleteHey! Would I be able to get that Olympia Socialite? I'd be interested in taking it!
ReplyDeletewhat Socialite was that? I've been looking for one myself for awhile now.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I guess it wasn't you who had the Socialite. I remember reading someone's blog post about wanting to gt rid of a Socialite, claiming they think it's too "clunky." Yeah right!
