The Brother was there and gone. It is encouraging that others are buying typewriters for something other than parts.<br /><br />Bill: The machines from yesterday were in a four story antique mall. The others were spread out in various warehouse First Friday weekend only locations. This is a typewriter concentration that could only come from dozens of pickers. Otherwise, I also live in a wasteland.<br /><br />Scott and Ted: I was sorely tempted by the white QDL, the Hermes 2000 and the Noiseless. My resolve held with the exception of a Sears branded SCM I found at the same time as the Royal Empress. It is yet to be bloggged, but has a neat typeface and came with a small set of changeable keys. It was impossible to resist for $25.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-18480586524679721822013-07-22T21:55:33.990-05:002013-07-22T21:55:33.990-05:00I'm certain I would have been sorely tempted b...I'm certain I would have been sorely tempted by many of those machines.
