Description:
So beat up but was on my WANT list since I saw one posted here on TWDB. This is straight outta the box from Goodwill online for $34, no case. Space bar is intermittent and the margins donât always catch. The rubber typeslugs rest is so hard, the slugs make an extra high pitch clink noise on rest. It has rust issues. I bet Matt at Ace can dunk this one and make is usable again. I gave my Wizard TrueType to a friend and they love it, no regrets! This is the one I really wanted. The tabs mechanism and carriage lift are weird. I will update once repaired.

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 âCat Mewsâ 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.
