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. |
