Having said that, the gap between the return lever and the ribbon cover is about 2mm. <br />Talk about tight tolerances!teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-79853390854457176432012-07-03T12:13:54.878-07:002012-07-03T12:13:54.878-07:00The one design flaw this machine has is carriage r...The one design flaw this machine has is carriage return lever scrapes the top of the ribbon cover. <br />Looks like you might have found a fix for that because in some of the pics, i can see the lever hovering over the ribbon cover.<br />How'd you do that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-43135631936609353092012-07-02T02:25:18.692-07:002012-07-02T02:25:18.692-07:00I kept my ones short and to-the-point.

Harder to stash, easier to get spotted doing so. Of course, in true "Mission-Impossible" fashion, if you get busted, the Typosphere will disavow any knowledge of you and may issue a statement to the effect that you were "one reckless, rogue operative operating outside of official channels, blah, blah, blah".<br />Good luck. ;-)teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-40445384272255329982012-07-01T15:33:29.716-07:002012-07-01T15:33:29.716-07:00I am definitely going to have to type up some of t...I am definitely going to have to type up some of these Infiltration cards (or papers) I keep reading about. There are so many places I could leave them...the opportunity calls me!<br />What is it that you wrote on yours? I've read the one on the website, and it is great, but I was thinking more along the lines of an index card, so it would have to be shorter. Plus, I have this typewriter stamp I used for the inside of the thank you cards I just sent out...that could be used for the back.L Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585495720234064210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-60797813388799289392012-06-24T22:12:14.599-07:002012-06-24T22:12:14.599-07:00Typewriter Day should be an international holiday....Typewriter Day should be an international holiday.

I decided that I just had to have one after I saw "The Lives of Others", a German film from about six years ago about a Stasi agent who eavesdrops on a political activist who uses one of these to write some inflammatory protests about the government. <br />It's the slimmest typewriter I have, but it's a nice one to write with.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-39082341852783153462012-06-24T00:10:51.157-07:002012-06-24T00:10:51.157-07:00Yeah, I've never seen a typewriter like that, ...Yeah, I've never seen a typewriter like that, but it sure is fine! I really like the carriage return lever, too. It's unique. <br /><br />I keep discovering new machines on everyone's blogs. I just recently discovered the Voss on Richard's site. That is one cool machines as well, but I notice they go for quite a few shekels.
