Description:
Perhaps the most comfortable type action I've experienced, and it doesn't require much strength to press the keys properly, so even inexperienced typists like my wife can easily get a nice and clear print with it. It's obviously missing some of the luxury features of the 3000, but unless you really need a tabulator, this is an excellent choice for long typing sessions.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well. I have noticed that adding typewriters to the process has been beneficial to the quality of the text, plus it's just more fun this way.
I have started selling and giving away some of my machines now that I have figured out which ones I want to keep. Some people have asked me for working typewriters, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well. As fun and instructive as it has been, soon it is time to finish this collecting and tinkering and move back to my original intention: writing. I hope.
