Looking under the hood of a 1923 Underwood 3-Bank

     First let me say that it did not occur to me to take pictures while I had the base removed from the Underwood.  It was early in the morning and I was amazed at the amount of dust that was inside of the machine (enough to make a mouse very happy).  I was in a state of panic when I discovered that my first efforts to correct problems made things worse.  

     One good thing about buying from a charity is that the people who profit from the sale deserve to. I have no feelings of being ripped off… (it was a donated item… duh!) the price was cheap… the machine functions… looks good and in time I will learn enough to fix it or have it fixed.  So it is win-win.  (Gerald)

A new look for Type Oh!

I thought I would add some images to my website… the first is me way back when next to a Underwood that entered this world the same year as I did in 1956.

My 1928 Royal 10  that arrived by mistake (I had ordered a Royal 5) … decided to keep it.

My Corona 3 that came to me painted yellow… but by dumb luck the paint was easy to remove… to reveal its true colors and worth.

A 1960 RC Allen that types in script… one of these geewiz wonders that cost more to ship than purchase and worth it.

Last of all me on my first bike.

Just me and some of my typewriters.
