I'm from the Dungeons and Dragons era, but am glad that you enjoyed the card.

Richard:...Ledeaux: We learn from some of the best!<br /><br />Richard: Agreed. I'm feeling the wear and tear of the years more than these machines.<br /><br />Ton: The acquisition was totally random. It was an ebay classic: shaky photos and perhaps a sketchy seller. He obviously had no experience shipping typewriters and I ended up paying a lot for shipping in getting him to properly pad the beast and its case. He used old medium density foam instead of light peanuts. No matter; it arrived safely and has a great story. I'd suffer the same kind of risks to get hold of a Graphika!Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897251519490477449.post-2520479928592268242013-03-02T08:42:06.540-06:002013-03-02T08:42:06.540-06:00That incredible typewriter deserves a birthday cel...That incredible typewriter deserves a birthday celebration.<br />I never got a chance to ask you this last year when you first posted about it but did you just happen to acquire Remington 8,000,000 by chance or was it advertised as such and you targeted it?
