But it sure is pretty!My experience with Corona Fours is that a good example will run well. A moderately long-stroke keyboard but one that requires little effort to actuate, just about mandating the use of heavy second sheet* for those of us who tend to lead-fingeredness.
Does anyone know where to get old-style newsprint-paper second sheet? I used to buy it by the ream (canary yellow), at less than half the cost of 20-lb. white bond. Just the thing for carbons and first drafts. Now it's gone unobtanium.

* Second sheet: that's the the page behind the page you're typing on. Use it! Your typewriter's strikers will last longer and your work will look better. --Add a sheet of carbon paper in between if you're A Real Writer or, like me in my misspent youth, trying to be.
VERY pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can check with a friend of a friend, who runs a print shop. He's my friend too, now that he's sold me two dozen 30 pound ingots of linotype, perfect for casting .45ACP.
ReplyDeleteI realize this is an old post but was wondering if by chance this typewriter is for sale? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteNot at this time. It still needs repair (haven't found a tech who will do the job) and it matches a candlestick phone; the pair of them will both end up on my bedroom desk.
