Rambles aboard the Corona Zephyr Deluxe

It was called a 9lb wonder back in its day (1938), looks great and types okay.  I got on board and rambled across a page… the other day.

Types on shows…

I started to type… and by the end I found my frustrations stayed on the page.  Another good reason to own a typewriter.

Remounted… Demountable…. excellent!

I needed to reverse the ribbon on my Demountable… which meant lifting up and taking off the frame; I moved something a fraction of a inch and the 87 year Demountable acts like a teenager… it is quick… has a light touch… wow!!!

Remington Model 5 Streamline…

I saw a dusty typewriter, no marking… the owner could not ID… but I knew.  So I offered $21.00… just when you think you are out… the type pulls you back!

The pens successor… according to National Typewriter!

The logo said it all: “The pens successor…” People still use pens everyday… manual typewriters not so much!

With a Royal Citadel I feel ready to hit the road…

The Royal Citadel… and the Singer Scholastic seem the same… except the Citadel was 1/2 the price of any Singer  I’ve come across in similar condition. Not to mention the Royal Dart…

The Torpedo types great!!

The Antares is a 10 to look at but just okay to type with.  The Underwood Quiet Tab has good looks and good typing.  The Torpedo just types great!!
