Plug 'n' Play

Another good use for an old iPad, now the iPad 2 is almost here.

All done

Nancy made a bee-line for The Good Companion

Unless I find a typewriter under the bed or in a cupboard, and until the next one comes along, I've done taking photos. If you enjoy looking at this collection, please comment and share a link. Surprised it only came to 22 machines. Here's my wish list - keep your eyes open and drop me a note if you stumble upon any of the following:

• Oliver 3 or 5
• Anything in bakelite
• 1970's Olivetti Valentine
• Hermes 3000 (curvy, like this one)
• Bennett
• Corona 4 in Lavender and Rose Gold
• Blickensderfer 6 (featherweight)

...that'll do for now.

Getting there

Blick Universal under the spotlight

Only half a dozen or so more machines to photograph and upload:

• Corona Junior
• Corona 3
• Antares Parva (from 1960s Italy)
• Underwood 4-bank in hnd painted brown (yuk)
• Remington Home Portable
• Remington Rand Model 1
• Remington Portable Model 5 (streamline)
• Imperial Good Companion (from Leicester)
• Corona 4 (the organ donor)

Dymo-might

Down to my last roll of 9mm Dymo tape - started to panic, then found this on Amazon!
