Description:
Built like a tank! I was attracted to the unusual typeface, which appears to be 14 characters per inch, indicating Micro Gothic No. 28. It arrived with the original financing carbon copy, owner’s manual, a little red brush, warranty card, and the case key. The color might be Sand, but I haven’t cleaned it yet. EVERYTHING functions properly.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
