A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.

A Preview of Coming Attractions
So cryptic this photo is. Mmmm... Something to do with Richard Polt's flames it might have. You seek Godzilla. Yes. Godzilla - a powerful copy editor is he!
Thanks all for the comments! I've been out of town this week and have relied on scheduled posts and a sketchy AT&T iPhone connection for moderating comments. In my absence, the project has been idling along. Two hints on the electronics:
1. It is not a USB typewriter conversion. 2. I like salvaging bits out of castaway toys.
It may be a few weeks for the conversion to reach completion. There isn't much room under the hood, so I am proceeding with caution. Also, there will be no mudflap girls on this machine. If I could find a small Mack bulldog with glowing eyes it would have an interesting new home.
Haha can't wait! There was a lot of discussion around a hot rod typewriter magazine idea a year ago. They still come up on Google.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteGodzilla say 'the truth shall set you free.' Can't wait to see what's up next.
ReplyDeleteHelp you I can, hmh! Frankensteinic usb typewriter it might be!
ReplyDeleteWell, there's a few of us doing up a few Typers at the moment. I think we need at least a page.
ReplyDeleteKustom Typers may be the next big thing.
Whatever it is, please don't pose a scantily clad girl on its hood, er, carriage!
