I'm starting another round of thinning the collection. I had a coincidence to kick things off.
I called on a new consignment shop and the proprietor said she'd been asked for them. The day after I selected four for her shelf, I get a text from my niece - she has a friend in the market for a typewriter. So in the back-and-forth i got out of him that he wants to use if for scripts. So that means I need to present working machines with tabs. Here are the candidates.

| 6lt2-154713 This is the earliest Classic 12 I ever found. I never use it though, and I don't want to have it just to have it. |
 |
| 488788 this will be priced high. It's in great shape. |
 |
| I'll let him try this but it's still balky. The carriage grinds, for one thing. |
 |
| This one is also excellent, and has the cleaning kit too. I just don't use it much. |
In related news, I went to the bins and found a typing manual.
There's my FP, and an underwood I sold over a year ago.

The Remington has a body similar to my big noiseless with the tiny typeface, and that looks like my 88.

ReplyDeleteI love your huge, enormous Olympia SG 3!! :D
I also like your Nice & Neat Olivetti Studio 44. xD
It's always good to be able to provide a typewriter for someone who desires one. Spread the love.
ReplyDeleteDEFINITELY the SM9 for screenwriting! Without a doubt. Setting tabs, which can be a chore, will be a lot easier with that machine. And if it's in good condition, it'll easily handle draft after draft after draft. Because nobody writes a good screenplay the first time around. Best of luck to him.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same, but he was looking for a particular aesthetic. I'll keep him posted on the next batch going out and see if he's interested in any of them.
