Description:
Nickname "Blaze"
My second electric-assist typebar machine is also my first typewriter with a techno-like typeface. Officially it is Classic Elite 86 12-pitch and I admit, it is pretty nice. It also has electric carriage return which it does with some amount of force. It is good thing the carriage is connected to the machine or your are apt to break a window. Because it is a wide-carriage machine it comes in a Platt case that works very well. I don't know if I will be getting any more electric machines in the future but then again, I don't know if I will stumble across any machines as nice as Blaze.

Metastatic cancer fighter and sudden cardiac arrest survivor who has gotten into vintage typewriter collecting after realizing that life is short and typewriters are fascinating. My machines range from 1947 to 1973 and I type on all of them and have given each of them a name. Have I mentioned that life is short? I am having great fun with this obsessi- I mean hobby. I live in San Diego, California.
