Description:
A workhorse of a machine that I kind of regret selling on. It just got on with the job at hand effortlessly. It was more of a "make lots of notes on it" kind of machine than a "write poetry on it" machine if that makes ANY sense. Pretty sure I will own one again at some point. *
Also as an aside, I LOVED the M on this typeface. most machines I own have Ms with middle stems that touch the baseline. This one only reached down to the middle of the character. I liked that. . . . it's the little things.
* recently bought an SM7 which suits me a lot better.

Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 41 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
