Description:
I picked this one up on the shelf at a local Phoenix area Goodwill for $9! With that beautiful Spencerian script! Unfortunately it had a hard life and by the tine it got to me had several loose panels, a totally jiggered carriage return lever, and was generally bent out of shape and leaning to one side. Duane at Phoenix Typewriter took care of all this and got it running smooth like buttah. It's a cute design with a great script typeface - this one's a keeper.

I am a retro post-punk meta-hipster, bassist, raconteur, techno-archivist, humorist, optimist, bon vivant and a fan of vinyl records, early 80's Japanese hi-fi gear, photography and obsolete but useful machines of all kinds. I am the proud owner of a 1970 Hermes 3000 and a 1940's Remington Rand typing desk.
I also created a typewriter image "filter" (see my avatar). It's written in Python and generates 65-character-wide images using over 1700 actual red-and-black-ribbon'd samples from my typewriter, meaning I could actually type them out myself on an 8 1/2" wide sheet of paper with 1" margins.
My dog Koa and I live in Buckeye, AZ.
