Some things you just don’t notice… noiseless typewriters had a long life over 40 years of manufacture and for the most part I was unaware. So many existed but I find them to be uncommon but common… so many but so few. A contradiction perhaps… but it sparks my interest in them.

Sears, a prime example of mis-management.
Hope to see your Harris after its return.
A few years ago I splurged on a new platen (from Ames) for my Harris, and it was worth it. They are neat machines.
Bill:
As they say… that’s the plan. I pan on posting once it returns.
Richard P:
The last time I splurged was on the re-do of a 1930’s Alto Saxophone. Which was in 2003… haven’t played much since.
