Brought out my problem children for some fun in the sun. They type so they work. One day I will get them working well… for now its just fun to press their keys.

Review: The Visual (virtual) Typewriter
Software that turns your computer screen/keyboard into a working Remington Portable with sound and motion called the Visual Typewriter… Want to work at your typewriter but not have speel check… not be able to change your mistakes with ease? Give the visual typewriter a try.
Gabriele Adler 35… no she’s 34 (1979)
Who would have thought I would run across a Triumph-Adler GABRIELE 35  (that’s what the T-A stamped on her rear stands for) this side of the Ocean. Since her front was uncovered (the Adler name strip missing) she looked like a lost soul of little value.  Not sure when she arrived in America… but she has a new life with Typeoh.
On Safari… more time on it… better it gets!
I take a Royal Safari for $1.79
I thought for sure that my max bid of $5.00 would be beaten.
Setting the Pace… Smith Corona Pacemaker
Olympia SG-1 Completes my Magnificent 7
1962 Olympia SG-1… $14.95
Although the manual is for a SG-1N… with expedient touch marks for the blind… . I had to close my eyes to notice that the Q, Z and opposite end keys have a rough surface… (I guess for correct starting position)… and slight bumps next to the ribbon control and touch adjuster.
Reliance Premier (1916) can be relied on…
It works… it types… after 97 years one must accept the fact it was well made.
Happy 4th on a 1897 Remington 6
I believe its been 6 months since I last typed on this 116 year old machine… works better than ever.
