New collector with a penchant for offbeat models/brands and, conversely, the mundane models many overlook, if I have a personal connection or just find them interesting. Finding that collecting typewriters is like eating potato chips, you can't have just one! Also restorer of mechanical calcs, Vintage audio, and vintage computers.

Smith 8 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
