2016 We R Memory Keepers Typecast Serial # No Serial 2016 We R Memory Keepers Typecast typewriter, Serial # No Serial King Corduroy's 2016 We R Memory Keepers Typecast typewriter. 2021-02-28 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of King Corduroy: 2016 We R Memory Keepers Typecast Serial # No Serial This typewriter was purchased on February 26, 2021 at a Goodwill in Round Lake IL.

So I finally have one, a We R typewriter. Who would have thought such a thing would happen so unexpectedly but here we are. I found this machine on that fateful friday morning before work and have been fiddling with it ever since. I paid only 10 dollars for my machine and ultimately I think because I paid so little and already had extremely low expectations that I find it a cheap and cheerful little typer. Certainly not a very serious business machine but how could anyone mistake this plastic toy as such even with it's silly "mint" coloration. I have seen many complain about it's alignment issues and the fact that the capital letters are too low but I must say after tweaking and working on it a bit I've managed to just about get it to type in an acceptable way. I think with a set of proper typewriter tools I could probably do wonders for this machine and just about make it as useable as any other machine. I say then that I quite like mine and if you should see one for as little as mine was or less and you don't mind tinkering a bit then I say by all means go for it! I myself think I will be keeping mine and will continue trying to align the strikers to produce neat and orderly text.

I am a mechanical engineering student with a fascination for antiques, I bought my first typewriter when I was in 6th or 7th grade. It was a very beat-up and dejected Remington Noiseless Model 7 and it only cost me 5$ since I was the only one at the auction interested in it. Since then I have sold it (and happen to know it is sitting in an antique shop) but my love for typewriters has never waned.
Since then my interests have spread to vintage computers and other electronics and I have obtained many interesting things. I now own 3 typewriters, but I am always looking for more and those sleek portables of the 1940's and 50's always catch my eye.
